Stacey Kent on Recording Fan Favorites and Why We Love Waltzes & Sad Songs

Stacey Kent joins Kyle Meredith to talk about Summer Me, Winter Me, her new album that collects songs fans had requested at her live show over the years but had never recorded. The jazz vocalist discusses how the rag-tag group of songs still makes up an album that flows, why she loves the ephemeral quality of playing live, and what new bits she found in these decades-old songs. Kent also tells us why she recorded two different versions of “Ne Me Quitte Pa”, the changes that “Postcard Lover” has gone through over the past decade, and why we love a waltz and a sad song.
