Baroness Elisa Covers "My Funny Valentine" on Cocktails in Paradise

December 17, 2004 (Press Release) -- The current CD of Synergy, Cocktails in Paradise, featuring lead vocals by Baroness Elisa, contains a remarkable rendition of “My Funny Valentine.” This remarkable standard has been covered by numerous artists, yet Baroness Elisa’s version leaves the listener filled with unrequited sorrow and heartbreak. In a quasi-Peggy Lee manner, the Baroness Elisa allows the listener to travel on her very private journey. Under sung and measured, the Baroness Elisa brings a unique twist to the classic song; the CD also includes other classic features from “God Bless the Child” to a haunting version of “Summertime.”

As the lead vocalist for Synergy, Baroness Elisa has made SYNERGY into an internationally recognized duo with a formidable repertoire covering the best of 50 years of music. SYNERGY is renown in many forms of music from Jazz, Ballads, and Soft Pop to Classic Rock, Disco, Soul and Dance.

TR Cutler, producer of the new Baroness Elisa theatrical, scheduled to begin a U.S. tour in April 2005, suggested, “This vocal talent is unique. There is ease in the way Baroness Elisa puts across a song. It’s a very intimate and personal experience. The listener is eavesdropping on a personal and private self-expression. Baroness Elisa is sharing a secret.”
