The Puppini Sisters The glamour and lights of Hollywood’s golden age are celebrated with The Puppini Sisters’ fourth album. ‘Hollywood’ is a gloriously evocative record that pays homage to the music of the silver screen in The Puppini Sisters’ inimitably stylish manner. The classically trained performers are the living embodiment of 1940’s glamour and their latest album features a number of early Hollywood classic, beautifully revived and reworked, so as if being sung for the first time. ‘Diamonds Are A Girl’s Best Friend’ – immortalised by Marilyn Monroe in ‘Gentlemen Prefer Blondes’ – is musically recast as a sparky, upbeat number but is sung in a minor key to give it a more subversive and sinister nature. Meanwhile the classic, chirpy ‘Good Morning’ becomes a reluctant, stiff-upper-lip wake-up call. Recorded in the old-fashioned way by the three ladies all standing around one microphone, each song features sweetly charming vocal harmonies of the Puppinis, bringing new life to songs that have existed in the public consciousness for over half a century. In a testament to their undeniably distinctive talent, the band have been handpicked by Michael Bublé to appear on two songs on his upcoming Christmas album – including the first single – while they will also perform with him at his upcoming ITV special.
