Labek has released her fourth CD titled “With You/ For You.” This CD provides a mix of standards, blues and originals. Her creative interpretations provide new slants on some great standards like “Boulevard of Broken Dreams” and “Angel Eyes.” Labek embraces her love of different genres on this album and as always, she’s about revealing the story, the feeling, the moment of truth we all recognize in what the composer and lyricist capture musically. The musical excellence of award-winning musicians on all the different sessions provide the listener with a unique variety to savor. Arrangements by Jack Perricone and Utar Artun enhance Labek’s interpretations that are replete with honesty and the depth of her understanding. The new works chosen for this CD are by songwriters whose well- crafted songs include lyrics that are sometimes an outcry of social injustice (“Hold On”) and sometimes just the reminder that we are not alone in what we feel and know (“Is It Love”.) The music and musicians on Labek’s CD’s will leave you high on life.
