Two
Dionne Warwick albums are included on this collection, both of them thematic and both from the early '90s. The first is
Warwick’s 1990 salute to
Cole Porter, arranged and produced by
Arif Mardin, the second a 1994 Brazilian-flavored album produced by
Teo Lima and including contributions from luminaries
Dori Caymmi and
Chico Buarque. Although long past
Warwick's classic period with Sceptre, and even past her adult contemporary peak in the '80s, she proves her singing smarts with vastly different material here.
