...unidentified Sophie ascending a staircase that appears much too wide for her small frame. She rises on stage. As she mounts the stairs, the orchestra accompanying Mme. Brice becomes increasingly audible, and when Sophie finally stands watching soprano and orchestra from the balcony, the audience sees the singer's face--closeup against black background--through her eyes. After the concert, Sophie proceeds backstage to introduce herself to Mme. Brice and request an audition, and is swept into the tumult of the soprano's life and her post-performance party...
...probably didn't say Eggs at the Middle East last Sunday. Your loss; this Arlington, VA trio--singer/ guitarist Andrew Beaujon, bass second guitarist/trombonist Rob Christiansen, plus a rotating corps of helpful temporary drummers--has been touring up and down the East Coast for a couple year now, wowing tiny rock clubs (or at least the people who stand around in them) with an ever-varying mixture of instrumental comedy and soulfully complicated pop.

She won a Grammy last year for singing the theme from Beauty and the Beast, a duet with Peabo Bryson, and is nominated again this year for her collaboration with Clive Griffin on When I Fall in Love from Sleepless...
...say/A good day for you is a good day for me/Can't believe I've sunk this low/Is this something good? I don't know..." "Aloha Street" alternates the self-reproachful lines of the verses with a rebarbative four-note hook that seems to be making fun of the singer's romantic aspirations." "Our eyes first met across a crowded room"--and then the hook, and then "I knew we'd done to very different schools..." The compact "guitar also," when it comes, is a deliberately squeaky, pathos-filled echo of the triumphant 70s lust you'd be likely...
