Katharine Whalen - Dirty Little Secret (CD)

Katharine Whalen, famed for her time as front-person of the nineties swing band Squirrel Nut Zippers, makes a triumphant return with 'Dirty Little Secret,' her first solo album in seven years. This remarkable collection sets Whalen's jazz vocals against contemporary electronic effects and dynamic rhythms, all crafted with impeccable pop sensibility. With the title track reminiscent of Burt Bacharach written for Dusty Springfield and compared to Debbie Harry at her most beguiling, this 2006 release shines as a unique and stirring addition to Whalen's discography.
