Call Stepney's singular approach \"chamber soul\"--the nimble melodies and insistent grooves swell with orchestral flourishes, while the jazz-inspired rhythms (courtesy of Ramsey Lewis' group) at times evoke Van Morrison's masterpiece Astral Weeks. Stepney creates the ideal backdrop for Riperton's soaring vocals, which reveal a subtlety and restraint absent from the glass-shattering bombast of her subsequent performances -- the opening \"Les Fleurs\" (covered decades later by 4Hero) crystallizes the entire record, embracing both intimacy and majesty to haunting effect. ~ Jason Ankeny\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Reel Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50193251729697,"sku":"741869395646","price":498.0,"currency_code":"MXN","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/741869395646.jpg?v=1724130118","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/en-mx\/products\/741869395646","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
