LADY SINGS THE BLUES
1956, CLEF
When this album is released, Lady Day has been singing the blues for over twenty years. She is worn out by a life of sensational stories, which she has burned through in addiction. A pale star whose light flickers. Billie has just crossed the threshold of forty as if she were a thousand years old. The album Lady Sings the Blues is released at the same time as her autobiography. The second to read her life, the first to hear and feel it. This album, which brings together songs recorded in September 1954 and June 1956, is almost unbearable in its sadness. There is nothing pathetic in its expression, but a bittersweet liqueur that flows from her throat, from her soul that hope has deserted. Set to music like dramas and sublimated by the trumpet of Charlie Shavers, “Lady Sings the Blues,” “Strange Fruit,” and “God Bless the Child” are desolate peaks in Billie Holiday's discography.
