Nina is born of Moravian & Norwegian descent with Bohemian tendencies....Living in Australia. Nina’s debut album , The Shape of You” is a collection of Torch, Tangos, Bossa & Blues- a sexy collision between Herbie Hancock and Julie London's wicked sister. A Jazz Jacuzzi where you get the odd glimpse of Tom Waits and Leonard Cohen from between the bubbles. Vox and her band deliver a brilliantly performed, heartfelt, poignant and at times humorous vitamin pill for an ailing night. If music is food, this album is a Dark Lindt Ball with a Wild Turkey center." The Shape of You (2009) - Nina Vox (www.ninavox.com ) The debut CD for Nina Vox released last year is a beauty! With a collection of songs old and new, Nina brings her seductive vocals to classics like Corcovado, Round Midnight, The Very Thought of You, and Tom Waits’ Temptation, but for me, the standout tracks are the two more uptempo songs written by the cd’s producer Tony King - The Shape of You and So Sue Me. With musical arrangements by pianist Bill Risby, Nina has surrounded herself with a bunch of talented Sydney musicians, with the end result being a wonderful experience for anyone who enjoys the jazz sensibilities of these fine artists. A must for your collection ! Sharon Thompson Presenter -Thompson's Corner FM 99.3 OLIVER DI PLACE on Nina's version of the Tom Waits song Little Drop of Poison... As jazz music developed, Latin jazz became an important subgenre, one that many artists still draw on today. Nina Vox makes her debut with an album that draws heavily on this style. She has a sultry voice that recalls cabaret singers, and the combination really works. Here she turns the Tom Waits song Little Drop of Poison into a tango, and all of the emotion of the piece survives nicely. I could tell you that Nina Vox hails from Brazil or Argentina, but no. She’s actually from Australia. Oliver di Place is a freelance music critic - his Blog address is http://oliverdiplace.blogspot.com
