Diabolical Streak

Jill Tracy
Diabolical Streak


The 20s...And cabaret...As dark... Perhaps... As it never was...This is the vision of Jill Tracy on her album Diabolical Streak. Herein are catchy songs of epic proportions, with lyrics straight from a Holmes mystery, or a Humphrey Bogart pic...Recalling strange concoctions, and poisoned pastries...And unknown culprits... Sung by Tracy's soulful whispery vocals...Standout tracks are the tragically beautiful "Extraordinary", the catchiest "You Leave Me Cold",  the eerily happy "Doomsday Serenade", "Diabolical Streak", and "Evil Night Together"...Which is a nod to the darker side of love.  The dame manages to navigate the realms between catchy pop and Dark Classical/Dark Cabaret, also being accompanied by the grand piano, the violin, violincello, etc etc...
