Let Yourself Go: Celebrating Fred Astaire is a 2000 studio album by Stacey Kent.

This was Kent’s third studio album, and was recorded in tribute to the dancer and singer Fred Astaire, who introduced many of the songs on this album.

Dave Nathan, writing on Allmusic.com gave the album three stars out of five. Nathan said that it was “another excellent album” by Kent and it was “happily recommended”. Nathan praised Kent’s interplay with pianist David Newton on “Isn’t This a Lovely Day” and “They Can’t Take That Away From Me,”, and guitarist Colin Oxley on “A Fine Romance”. David Adler in All About Jazz wrote that Jim Tomlinson’s tenor saxophone breaks on “He Loves and She Loves” are “exquisite”. He praised Kent’s delivery as “charming and infectious…She pours her heart out on two devastatingly sad numbers, “By Myself” and “I Guess I’ll Have to Change My Plan””.

Singer Stacey Kent brings a new album, which will be released through the label Naïve.

Stacey says, “This is the first time I’ve recorded a song twice on the same album. “If You Go Away” came into my repertoire in 2018 when Jim wrote an orchestral arrangement for a concert in Paris. From time to time, I also sang Jacques Brel’s original, “Ne me quitte pas.” But regardless of the language, someone always asked me why I didn’t sing it in the other language. Some singers then added both languages to the same version. Since both lyrics are beautiful in their own right and equally deserve to be recorded, I decided to record them both.

Her voice is already a shrine by itself. A shrine in which all the world standards shine brightly. But this time, the shrine is for Stacey Kent a carpet of strings. WithI Know I Dream, the singer from New Jersey makes the experience even silkier. Recorded in the famous Angel Studios in London with a phalanx of sixty musicians and meticulously produced by Tommy Lawrence and Jim Tomlinson (Mister Stacey Kent in real life), this album offers rearranged themes to reach some sort of nirvana of depth, intimacy and delight. A true grace that above all avoids the trappings into which the vocal jazz discs sometimes fall… Where the repertoire is concerned, Stacey Kent remembers her love of jazz, of French songs (Juliette Gréco, Léo Ferré and Nino Ferrer come to mind) and Brazilian music (Tom Jobim). As always with her, there’s a love of storytelling and a deep passion for language and words. These are essential things that Stacey Kent perfectly merges in the ocean of strings of this rare pearl of a disc.

With Tenderly, her first album for the label OKeh, Stacey Kent returns to the repertoire of great standards that made her famous. Nothing but a pure and quiet intensity that comes with astonishing vividness, intimately revealing both the soul of the song and of the artist simultaneously. This is probably where the magic of this American singer lies. With this record, Kent also inaugurates a new remarkable collaboration by joining forces with Brazilian guitarist Roberto Menescal. Just like Julie London with Barney Kessel, and Ella Fitzgzerald with Joe Pass, Stacey Kent found in Menescal the ideal companion to transcend some of the most beautiful pages of the great american songbook. Simple, beautiful and powerful.
