It\u2019s a postmodern mid-century romantic revival\u00a0\u2014 a nine-track collection where songs feel like\u00a0<strong>timeless standards you\u2019ve never heard before.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Laufey-adjacent, but edgier, <strong>Corinne bridges the worlds of jazz and pop for a new generation<\/strong>. But where Laufey leans lush and innocent, Corinne takes a bolder path. Her sound draws on the sultry elegance of Sade, the cinematic drama of Shirley Bassey, and the raw edge of Amy Winehouse \u2014 <strong>all refracted through a 1962 lens of Parisian torch songs and Brazilian bossa nova.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Stories in Pink <\/em>is a showcase of moods:\u00a0deconstructed bossa grooves (\u201cScrambled Eggs for Two\u201d), swampy French Quarter romance (\u201cFa La La\u201d), a lush, orchestrated 6\/8 swinger (\u201cOnce Upon a Time in Central Park\u201d), and a waltz that feels like lost Mancini magic (\u201cI Taste Forever in Your Kiss\u201d). The record closes with a cinematic take on \u201cLa Vie en Rose,\u201d sealing its mid-century aura.<\/p>\n<p>Recorded with an ensemble of top-tier players, produced by <strong>Eric Todd<\/strong>, and mastered by <strong>Grammy-winner Joe LaPorta <\/strong>at <strong>Sterling Sound<\/strong>, the album balances sophistication and accessibility \u2014 edgy enough to intrigue jazz fans, yet intimate enough to resonate with pop audiences. It is, as <em>All About Jazz <\/em>declared about Corinne of her past traditional releases, \u201csheer genius.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201c<em>I wanted to create an album that felt timeless, like you could drop the needle in 1962 or 2025, and it would still feel alive,<\/em>\u201d says Corinne. \u201c<em>These songs are romantic, cinematic, and honest. They live outside of trends, but they\u2019re for today\u2019s listeners.<\/em>\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Corinne has earned industry validation with invitations to perform at New York\u2019s elite <strong>Casa Cipriani<\/strong>, following recent standout performances with <strong>American Idol\u2019s Casey Abrams <\/strong>at <strong>City Wineries<\/strong>.
