While the jazz fascists (read: purists) may be screaming "sellout" because Diana Krall decided to record something other than standards this time out, the rest of us can enjoy the considerable fruit of her labors.
The Girl in the Other Room is, without question, a jazz record in the same manner her other outings are.
The fact that it isn't made up of musty and dusty "classics" may irk the narrow-minded and reactionary, but it doesn't change the fact that this bold recording is a jazz record made with care, creativity, and a wonderfully intimate aesthetic fueling its 12 songs.

 Diana Krall: The Girl In the Other Room
Now Krall continues this trading of CD love letters with her new release The Girl In the Other Room and seeks to be a singer and pianist who has moved beyond the question of whether she is a jazz performer or a more mainstream popular recording artist.
The Girl In the Other Room’s twelve tracks are evenly divided between songs written by Krall and Costello together and a variety of covers (one of those is also a Costello tune, the ballad “Almost Blue” that has previously been done by Chet Baker).
On the other tunes the music is often by Krall with lyrics by Costello or collaborative lyrics.

It seems to me that this album moves Ms Krall determinedly forward; I've enjoyed her previous works, and her re-interpretations of the "standards" have been new, fresh and invigorating; however, it seems to me that fundamentally, re-hashing songs that so many artists have covered before is ultimately a bit of a cul-de-sac.
"The girl in the other room" is Diana Krall's "Unplugged" or"Stripped"-album.
"The girl in theother room", this is also the "other" Diana Krall who now sings her songsat the piano without make-up and without polish.

 Guardian | Diana Krall, The Girl in the Other Room
The Girl in the Other Room sounds like a real Canadian album, and that is not meant in any negative or ironic way.
The Girl in the Other Room, a swinging waltz, complements Costello's Almost Blue nicely, while Abandoned Masquerade echoes the Tom Waits world we have already visited with the feelgood groove of Temptation.
After a few listens you realise that Krall is very smartly singing Waits's lyrics with just a slight hint of the writer's rasp and that her guitarist Anthony Wilson (son of big band arranger Gerald Wilson) is making a similarly subtle reference to Marc Ribot's razor-edged style.

Interpretations of pieces varying from Tom Waits' "Temptation" (The Girl in the Other Room's first single), Joni Mitchell's "Black Crow" and husband Elvis Costello's own "Almost Blue" manage to maintain the concepts of the originals they are based on.
In today's somewhat strange musical climate where tastes are expanding much farther than any other recent time (who'd have thought a country/jazz album from Norah Jones could compete with the latest from Hoobastank!), Krall has chosen the perfect time to completely spread her wings.
And, with The Girl in the Other Room she's proven beyond a doubt that there's much more to her than an excellent voice and superb interpretational skills.

In the show, playing at the Oak Room of the Algonquin Hotel, their rapport is so cozy they all but finish each other's sentences.
Sullivan croons a sweetly wistful version of ''People,'' standing beside the piano, it revolves around the words, ''We're children needing other children.'' The lovers who are ''very special people'' in the same song are seen as a more mature breed that this latter-day Peter and Wendy contemplate longingly from afar.
No ordinary girl singer would have the nerve to sing that one, but KT bravely makes it her own.

The albums included a Nat King Cole tribute album, a Christmas album and 1999's "When I Look in Your Eyes," a record that won a Grammy for best jazz vocal performance and became the first jazz album in 25 years to be nominated for album of the year.
Her 2004 release "The Girl in the Other Room" is about as groundbreaking for Krall, in terms of artist endeavors.
I have a soft spot for jazz in my heart because listening to it brings a certain imagery of sophistication and grace that other music, no matter what genre or when it was made, doesn't.

Diana Krall’s latest album ‘The Girl in The Other Room’ is about as cool as you can get.
Other artist whose music Krall performs is Joni Mitchell with her cool version of ‘Black Crow’, Tom Waits’‘Temptation’ & Mose Allison’s ‘Stop This World’.
Krall’s dulcet tones, sensitive piano playing and her ability to interpret songs by others and to write great tracks is paramount when appreciating her talents.

Krall is known for giving new life to old standards.
Girl In The Other Room, however, breaks that tradition as the first of her eight albums to showcase her songwriting talents.

 Diana Krall The Girl In The Other Room Review By A. Colin Flood
Yet her 2004 release, The Girl In The Other Room, charts new ground with her avant-garde songwriting husband, Elvis Costello.
With other people's work, like Joni Mitchell's "Black Crows," Krall seems to know exactly where she wants to go and she "boldly goes where no man has gone before."
Costello's work shows that Krall is "The Girl In The Other Room." An incomparable jazz artist with a sad personal and folksy/pop sides.

Unfortunately, the spell breaks down and the songs grow tedious as the album nears its end, practically running out of a steam like an emotional rollercoaster stranded at the bottom of the tracks.
It may or may not be significant that Diana Krall's first album of new material since the ascendance of Norah Jones is the former's least jazzy, most pop-savvy album of her career.
In any case, it marks Krall's biggest departure to date; THE GIRL IN THE OTHER ROOM is almost entirely devoid of the jazz standards that constituted her previous repertoire, and it contains her first recorded batch of original songs.

A smooth delivery so graced upon polished piano chops, you don’t even have to view her physical charm to be absorbed by this jazzy diva.
Upon her recent high profile marriage to the brash pop rocker, Elvis Costell, the husband/wife team has penned six of the twelve songs on Krall’s eighth album – The Girl In The Other Room.
By mixing these six brave originals with six familiar covers, Girl In The Other Room stands to be a daring leap for an already established artist.

 CANOE -- JAM! Music - Artists - Diana Krall Album Review: THE GIRL IN THE OTHER ROOM
But with her eighth album The Girl in the Other Room, Krall gives the impression that for her, the true measure of success is artistic self-determination.
On this dozen-song effort, the acclaimed jazz singer-pianist grasps the reins of her career and her music more firmly than she ever has before: She co-wrote half these cuts with Costello.
What really matters is that The Girl in the Other Room is the most personal, original and fully realized album of Krall's career.

"The Girl in the Other Room" is everything you want in a record, but not everything you want is in every song.
The first Diana Krall album with original compositions since her 1993 debut excels in the writing department on the almost voyeuristic title track (penned with her new husband, Elvis Costello), but her sometimes drowsy singing is almost an afterthought.

She barely acknowledged that she was in a room playing for other people.
The warning given about the CD side stems from the fact that the CD data layer is closer to the lens than is a standard CD, and some players may not be able to focus in on it.
The warnings are included because the DDs are slightly thicker than the standard for CDs and thus do not qualify under the redbook guidelines to carry the official CD logo - the labels are playing CYA.
