When Lisa Simone told her mother that she wanted to become a professional singer responded that quite a bit: ' why would you want to? The people will you only compare with me and I am much better '. That mother was Nina Simone: a brilliant artist, but as a mother shot them seriously too short. Lisa suffered for years under the depression, tantrums and alcohol addiction of her famous mother. That troublesome youth is one of the themes on All Is Well. She expels her inner demons to sing by both small as fully ' belts '. Lisa's elastic soul voice seems not really looks like the androgynous blues voice of her mother. Also in the musical content (a mix of soul, jazz and blues) sounds sporadically something from Nina's influence by. Lisa Simone, 52 if this album comes out, turns on the painful open hairy lyrics inside out, without that it turns into self-pity. Rust dots are there in a light-hearted interpretation by Leonard Cohen (!) and a version of her mother's Ain't Got No, I Got Life that from Lisa's mouth lovingly striking sounds.
