Pink Martini - "Hey Eugene"

Pink Martini album "Hey Eugene" continues where "Hang on Little Tomato" left off, taking listeners back to the age of innocent romance and nostalgia. Pink Martini mixes upbeat jazz with romantic retro, sprinkled with Japanese and Russian, resulting in a compilation worthy of any musical connoisseur. 

Each song on the album is performed in a different fashion, ranging from sultry samba tunes to more somber classical elements.  The lead singer, China Forbes, never ceases to amaze with her dazzling vocal chords and ability to sing flawlessly in English, French, Spanish, Arabic, Japanese and other languages. 


As with every other Pink Martini CD, I have my favorite song - the hypnotic Japanese-language track "Taya Tan."
