在最新錄音中夫婿艾維斯‧克斯提羅與黛安娜共同完成了專輯六首全新歌曲，另外她也再次挑戰 Tom Waits的『Temptation』與瓊妮‧米卻兒的『Black Crow』與老牌鋼琴歌手Mose Allison的歌曲『Stop The World』。整張專輯的選曲可以說跳脫了傳統爵士樂曲的桎梏，迎向另一個音樂的新視野。
Singer/pianist Diana Krall breaks new ground interpreting modern standards by Tom Waits, Mose Allison, and Joni Mitchell, as well as compositions by herself and new husband, Elvis Costello. Krall's piano-jazz cred comes through loudly and clearly on her Count Basie-styled version of the Bonnie Raitt staple "Love Me Like a Man" (written by folk-bluesman Chris Smither). But it's the collaborations with her spouse that unearth untapped emotional nuances of her velvet voice; many are reminiscent of Bill Evans's moody, impressionistic pieces. The title track, "Narrow Daylight," "Abandoned Masquerade," and "I’m Coming Through" all deal with love and loss. "Departure Bay," a picturesque ode to her hometown of Nanaimo, B.C., proves that this is the start of something big, and that two heads--and hearts--are better than one. --Eugene Holley Jr.
