Vancouver singer-songwriter Andrea Superstein pays a visit to South Delta Friday night as part of her Western Canada tour.
The 8 p.m. show at the Tsawwassen Arts Centre is in support of the release of her latest album, Worlds Apart.
Superstein began her career in musical theatre, where she was introduced to the jazz standards of the Great American Songbook. She also took a shining to the sweet harmonies of ’50’s doo wop, the ethos of the ’60’s folk movement, and the driving rhythms of early soul. These are the key elements that make up Superstein’s unique approach to songwriting and performance.
The album’s themes explore the nature of relationships in a world where we are becoming more and more disconnected from each other, where reliance on technology is simultaneously increasing our accessibility to reach each other and decreasing our access to impactful human contact. The album begs the question: How can we come closer together?
“With Worlds Apart I wanted to deliver something more personal by examining the specific timely issues we face in being connected in a modern world,” says Superstein.
With jazz luminary Elizabeth Shepherd as producer and co-arranger, the new record consists primarily of original music in three languages (English, French and Hebrew), rounded out by classic standards.
