Anne Shelton - Softly Beat The Drum

Review by Malika Butler

Softly Beat The Drum is a timeless album by the renowned British singer Anne Shelton. Released in 1959, the album features her signature blend of jazz, pop, and swing music that she was known for. The album showcases Shelton's smooth and sultry vocals, which are perfectly complemented by the lush orchestral arrangements.

The album opens with the title track, "Softly Beat The Drum," a romantic ballad that sets the tone for the rest of the album. Other standout tracks include "I'm In The Mood For Love," "I'll Be Seeing You," and "That Old Feeling," which are all classic standards that Shelton delivers with grace and charm.

One of the highlights of the album is Shelton's rendition of "As Time Goes By," which she infuses with a sense of nostalgia and longing. Her version of the song is a testament to her ability to convey emotion through her voice.
