American vocalist Robin McKelle has decided to do things differently on alterations, eschewing her usual material in favour of a set of classic-sounding jazz covers of well-known songs originally recorded by female artists. Backed by what sounds like a quartet or quintet (bass, drums, piano, guitar, sax), McKelle delivers often quite revolutionary revisions of such much-loved cuts as Sade's "No Ordinary Love", Adele's "Back To Black", Nina Simone's "Don't Explain" and, perhaps most surprisingly, Dolly Parton's "Jolene". The latter sees McKelle at her expressive, soulful best over a backing track that cleverly turns the country classic into a loose-limbed jazz-funk workout.
