Love Stories is an orchestral album that showcases the talents and mastery of Eliane Elias, a multifaceted artist, both a singer, pianist, arranger, composer, lyricist, and producer. Almost entirely sung in English, this album features three original pieces as well as seven superb arrangements of compositions from the golden age of bossa nova, including songs made famous by Frank Sinatra and Antonio Carlos Jobim. As both a performer and composer, Elias fits into the rich tradition of bossa while projecting her music into the present. She revisits familiar songs by infusing them with unexpected twists that intensify the evocative power of the music - whether by creating harmonic modulations that enhance the meaning of the lyrics or by altering rhythmic dynamics to accentuate their emotional dimension - thus allowing the subtle complexity of her voice to remain constantly at the center of her message.
