Synopsis

Album Description
Susan May The Rose (S-SSD 0102) A NEW SOUTHPORT RELEASE!) The beauty of the human voice, the gift to sing is like a rare flower. Susan May, at the age of twelve, becomes Southport Records youngest vocalist. Her voice has been falling from the sky since the tender age of 6. She loves jazz and blues and songs that her mom and dad played around the house. A constant favorite is the music of film/pop composer Henry Mancini (tracks 4, "Bye Bye-The Peter Gunn Theme" and track 6, "Soldier In The Rain." The title track 1, "The Rose," represents the essence of her jazz sensibility and treatment of a tune. Susan May made her national television debut on the Oprah Winfrey Show, as part of the program called "The World?s Most Talented Kids," singing an excerpt from her CD, "Feelin? Good." Don?t let the novelty of youth fool you. Susan bears witness to the emotional demands of her music. She has assembled a team of Chicago based musicians that include arranger Bobby Schiff on piano (toured with Patti LaBelle), and trumpet/flugel horn ace Bobby Lewis (countless sessions that include Curtis Mayfield and Peggy Lee). The music of Susan May can be called jazz and pop and a bit of cabaret. The beauty of her youth is that it is the beginning of a life journey, and music is a part of her heart. Let?s wish her a wonderful ride.

"If you heard this without knowing her age, you would think she was 25 years old, or older. Fabulous voice.My only (minor) criticism is that she sounds "over-coached" in some segments of a few songs. Otherwise, a HUGE talent with a bright future. Here's hoping she does not go the way of Christine Aguilera or Britney Spears..."
