About "Someone To Watch Over Me (Chris Connor)" by Chris Connor
Chris Connor's cool, vibrato-less alto gives 'Someone To Watch Over Me' a haunting, modern edge. She strips away sentimentality, leaving a stark, vulnerable plea. The arrangement is sparse and moody, and Connor's delivery is detached yet deeply affecting, creating a tension between the desire for protection and a fierce, solitary independence. It's a lonely, beautiful prayer.
