A vintage recording voice that evokes a certain nostalgia we hear from singers in the past. Yet, his rendtions are undeniably hip and refreshingly unique. Some may even describe this CD as very 'Woody Allen-ish'.

Details:
Julian Yeo is a Jazz/Cabaret singer currently residing in New York City. An Australian of Asian descent, Julian was exposed to a wide array of music while growing up. However, he has always been fascinated by singers from the 20s to the 50s. This CD is an eclectic compilation of new compositions and standards tied together with a common theme - Love.

Perhaps the title of the CD sums it up. There is a certain quality in his voice that sounds like vintage recordings you hear from a gramophone (OLD); at times, his voice even evokes a certain nostalgia that we hear in singers of the past like Fred Astaire, Al Jolson and Rudy Vallee (BORROWED). Yet there is something undeniably hip about his renditions that are refreshingly unique (NEW). The directness in his delivery together with the manifestation of his love for these songs make this CD distinctively 'Julian Yeo' (BLUE).

Review: "He has outstanding vocals - especially in the lower range. He was able to delivery his own special spin on many of the songs - standards in non-standard ways." Stu Hamstra, Cabaret Hotline Online
