Stacey Kent

Stacey Kent’s clear-as-light vocals and Art Hirahara’s lyrical piano make their duo outing exactly “what the world needs now.” On Songs from Other Places, their artistry is beautifully laid bare in classic songs including Weill and Gershwin’s “My Ship,” Jobim’s “Bonita,” and Paul Simon’s “American Tune”—once a protest against the Vietnam War, now a troubled elegy for a nation in even greater distress.
