Earlier this month Lara released her third English language album Every Woman in Me, currently only available at her concerts. This CD follows the same concept as her French album released 6 months ago, Toutes les Femmes en Moi. This one is a collection of cover versions of English-speaking songs that Lara feels have influenced her music and her life. They are recorded with a single piano. These are the eleven tracks:
River (Joni Mitchell)
Both Sides Now (Joni Mitchell)
Alfie (Barbra Streisand)
Bewitched, Bothered & Bewildered (Ella Fitzgerald)
Crazy (Patsy Cline)
Close to You (Karen Carpenter)
Wind Beneath my Wings (Better Midler)
Do You Know Where You’re Going To (Diana Ross)
The Man with the Child in His Eyes (Kate Bush)
Why (Annie Lennox)
Angel (Sarah McLachlan)
You can find copies of most of the songs here on YouTube. Download them if you really like them before they get taken down! Personally, I think she did a really nice job in bringing her own style and beautiful voice to these classics!
EWIM is, indeed, a very good album! It's a shame it won't be released in commerce, only on her site. It would sell a lot, IMO.
