Songs For Swingin' Lovers!

What a great break from mediocre British pop! (Truly a terrific listen.)

Somebody get this man laid! I enjoyed the sound, backing of the big band, and his voice. The subject matter got tiring. Who wants to listen to this many love songs. Anything Goes was a gem though. Either ironic or just old fashioned, I'm not sure.

Me emboló que justo haya tocado un viernes pero sólido álbum

La sensación que me dio escuchar este álbum es distinta. Algo de la voz y los instrumentos que puf. Me gustó mucho.

I’ve never listened to Sinatra deeply but I do like his music. This album just sounds happy and makes me imagine floating and falling in love in the streets of NYC on a sunny day.

Songs For Swingin’ Lovers is one of Sinatra’s most upbeat albums, and is packed with hits, especially the outstanding “I’ve Got You Under My Skin.”

Each song by itself it enjoyable, but overall repetitive when listening in album form. I feel as if none of the other songs live up to "You Make Me Feel So Young." After a point, it felt like I was listening to the same song 15 times.

Nostalgia from playing in a big band makes me fond of these songs, but I can't be the only one who thinks there is something creepy about Frank... technically, he has a gorgeous voice, but I always imagine him singing these love songs with the cold, dead eyes of a shark.

Not bad.

This album sounds like what my life would feel like once I leave this fucking job I hate. Shoutout Franky!

First listen

I love Frank. His voice is buttery smooth and the band arrangements, especially the horns, are always on point and enjoyable. This was not the right album to sit and listen to at work, however. I like hearing Frank in a movie soundtrack, during Christmas, or in a restaraunt. Listening to an entire album of Frank while sitting at work wasn't really a vibe. I probably wouldn't listen to a full Frank album usually in my free time. Great music though.

good for the time

Its Sinatra, what's not to love

Frank obviously has a great voice and the band are very good but it's just not for me.

Me alegró el alma, elegancia clásica.

Polert storbandjazz med Frank S. I dette tilfellet for polert. Vanskelig å skille en låt fra den neste og tynne lyrics. Da blir det ikke mer enn greit.

Julestemning og gleder meg til femmer fra Morten! Svak 4 for min del

Mannen kan synge, og bandet kan spille. Blir likevel en svak 4 da det ble litt mye av det samme.

Hva skal man si? Blir litt som reggae for min del. Gøy med storband, rå stemme, men det blir for ensformig i lengden. Sikkert 5 stjerner i Mortens favoritt-tiår.

Greit. Litt kjedelig

A nice little change of pace. It really speaks to the ubiquity of these songs when I wasn't even born in the same century they were made, and I still recognized some of them. I can't really speak to the musicality or uniqueness of each of them, as they all kind of blended together; it's really telling that it's of its time and more or less created not to be listened to song by song in a dedicated music listening session, but as a whole vinyl record in the background.

ok

Really enjoyed this. Some great songs with that big band sound.

пренася те в миналото, като същевременно има вкус на безвремие. като го слушам ми се иска да потанцувам с онзи специален човек. усещам коледа с топло осветление, уютен дом и красиви улици за разхождане привечер с елегантно палто, топъл шал, винтидж шапка и студени, но преплетени ръце в нечий джоб.

listenable but samey and i got bored/annoyed before the end of the album

uff. und jedes lied fängt gleich an

The man.

I feel like I’ve only ever listened to the first 30 seconds of “You Make Me Feel So Young” from various movies, so that was something. Sinatra can sing, and I can appreciate the horns as a former jazz band kid, but simply put it’s not my thing. A lot of songs blend together. I’m glad the crooner age has been left behind for Fallout games.

8.5 - not his best album but it’s still Frank

cant go wrong. i know he got pearl clutchers for makin whoopee

I'm such a f*g for this jazzy crooning. A lovely way to spend 45 mins. These songs aren't always the absolute best versions of the tracks, but they're always darn good.

Ого смотрите кто вышел из депрессии

Yeah that sure was a Frank Sinatra album. You start like “hey that’s great isn’t this this song from Elf?” And then halfway through you go “yeah I get it”.

Frank is hard to beat, he’s got such good wordplay sometimes (too marvelous) and his band complements his voice so well, all not new takes

Sounds good, doesn't hurt anyone. Perfect elevator music.

I liked this. I like Frank Sinatra although I prefer when he sings Christmas songs to regular songs, but that's just because I love Christmas music. I knew a few songs on this album: You Make Me Feel So Young, Pennies From Heaven, I've Got You Under My Skin, and Makin' Whoopee, although I didn't necessarily know his version of them. It was very easy to listen to and pretty short.

I think this might be my first Sinatra album and it took way too long

Boaring

Yep

He has a great voice, but it does get a little bit samey. I think I'm just not into this genre enough for it to really move me. Interesting as a time capsule, not so much as something I'd want to listen to today

Okay

Definitely well made, and I expected to say "I liked it more than I thought I would!" but every time I had to pause for work and came back to it I was like ugh, how much more of this do I have to listen to. Sorry nana and papa, you can have him.

I think Robbie Williams ruined this genre for me with Swing when you are winning. I don't mind the odd track but an album was too much for me. You heard one you kind of heard them all. I give a two as the odd song is okay and Frank Sinatra is obviously a legend and I can see why he is included but its very dated and samey

yeah

While not by favorite Sinatra record, it's hard not to like

it's nice

Great

Sinatra's performance is as promised: swingy and jazzy. I agree with another reviewer's opinion that while many of the songs sound the same it's a nice overall sound.

there's no denying that Frank Sinatra would be an artist featured on a list of 1001 albums that you have to hear before you die. I think that you gotta really consider which album of his should be represented on this list as a 5/5, perfect album. The big band songs and his incredible voice really are undeniable. This album was really upbeat, really invigorating and a true peek back through history. New York through and through, it's a well put together album. I mean it’s the brass it’s the voice it’s the charisma it’s the swag it’s just…it is what it is. Big Band.

Bra låtar i ett högre tempo än In The Wee Small Hours.

3.1/5

It’s that classic Sinatra sound where you really can’t go wrong with it, but it’s also not something that wows me. Overall decent album

Great background music

4 stars for Frank, 3 for the songs. Preferred his album "In the wee small hours of the morning".

Don’t mind a bit of frank but he is a bit dull

Osea es Frank Sinatra, espectaculo. No es su mejor disco, pero cumplidor al mil. 8/10

Is this about polyamory? I'd like to think so.

Have never listened to a Frank album in full! Thrilled to!

A great voice and sound. It somehow makes me feel nostalgic for a time I never lived.

I literally cannot get into jazz for the life of me. I don't mean to be a hater-- I'm sure that this is really good or whatever, but I can't help the feeling that the more I listen, the less depth there is to any of it. a snooze fest throughout sadly

Sinatra has an incredible voice, but this just feels like one 45 minute long song. Just not my thing.

Det här kan jag tänka mig passar bra när man står och lagar mat en fredag efter jobbet med ett glas rött i handen. Inte jättespännande musik, men långt ifrån dålig.

Mysigt men lite långtråkigt

Nog fan är det mysigt och swaggigt.

Gillar storband, är en swingin löver, och gillar Frank Sinatra. Men det var inte GALET bra. Svag fyra

Soft men också bjäring

You saucy little bugger Frank

Big Fronk can really sweng

I mean… it’s Frank.

Day 51 Frank's that guy. What more can I say? Fav track: We'll Be Together Again

Ol' Blue Eyes at his best

que bonito pe

3/5

As long as you remind yourself the era that it was made in, its a great album. Awesome instruments support a famously incredible voice, and that's about it.

Lol, kakšne dva tedna glede žanrov. No, tole vsaj vem, da bo prijetno za ušesa. Se mi zdi, da nobenega komada ne poznam od prej, razen enega, ampak v izvedbi Louis Prima ("Pennies from Heaven"), ki mi je ful ljuba, tko da me prou zanima Frankova verzija. (Slabša je. Čist drug vajb.) Ahh, nevermind, zgrešila sem "I've Got You Under My Skin". Ta mi je super. Aaa, pa "Anything Goes", valjda (funnily enough, oba komada je napisal Cole Porter). Razen ta poznanih, se ostali komadi kinda blendajo into one continuous song. Tko da, kljub temu da je prijetno poslušat Franka (čeprav mam zraven filing, da mi manjka cigara, viski pa a roaring fireplace), je slightly boring.

molto cute allegro e ottimo sottofondo per la vita

A few years ago, I went to a charity dinner that was to benefit the local animal shelter. The entertainment for the event was a Frank Sinatra impersonator. Early on in the evening, he told the crowd, "If you have any requests, please let me know; I love singing these tunes by old Blue Eyes!" I suggested "You Make Me Feel So Young." A few others in attendance shouted out some suggestions, too. He literally only sang "Fly Me To The Moon" over and over and over again. I hate that song now. This album is great, though. The weather has finally turned and the smell of fall is in the air. Soon the leaves will turn and the sweaters will come out of the back of the classic. Perfect weather for listening to Frank. 5 stars.

Woeful! If you’re from Queens you might love this. Painful otherwise.

Frank Sinatra and Nelson Riddle! That's a winning combo.

Monotonous

Sure

Not for me

Frank Sinatra was the worst thing to happen to music.

His era may have passed, but it doesn’t make Sinatra any less magnificent. Ol’ Blue Eyes always earns 5*.

Sure, Sinatra's voice is gloriously silky, and I like a love song sometimes. But man, this got tiring after about 3 songs. I think I would have more patience for this big-band jazz standard stuff if I were still in choir class and had to sing this sort of thing, but I'm just never going to gravitate toward this style in my casual listening time. I got bored really quickly, considering the theme and the sound itself are nearly identical from song to song. Plus, the flashy finale formula just doesn't work for me at all (I think it's a little corny, to be honest). 2.5/5 rounded down Favorite tracks: Pennies From Heaven, I've Got You Under My Skin

Listened previously. Expectations: High - Verdict: Masterpiece - This is one of the best albums ever made. The vocals are just mindblowing from start to finish and the arrangements that go with them are wonderful. Every single track is strong and puts me in such a good mood. I can't pick out any real highlights because the standard is impossibly high throughout but I will say that the band on I've Got You Under My Skin is celebrated for a reason. Perfect album.

fenomenal

It's one of the hall of famer vocal performers, hard to pull away from the massive amount of influence he had on... well all of music maybe? probably too far but still big name. Everything here is the classic sound, tons of romantic songs with jazzy crooning, just laying in the sultry low tones makes for a good time. Its a time and place kind of album but when that time and place occur it's not getting beaten by much else.

another very different album. i enjoyed it tho

im sure separated the songs would be very good but as an album it was like listening to the same song for 45 minutes straight.

It's Sinatra

Not much on the variety scale but very little wrong with it.

Does everyone have an old person in their life with a Sinatra story or is that just an east coast thing?

The one song from elf

Cute i love it

Frank Sinatra is a revolutionary of music. This album feels like driving across the cromwell bridge on christmas eve. It feels like building a snowman at Heathcote park with my sister. It feels like skiing at Mt Hutt and sitting down, taking your ski boots off, and having hot chips and hot chocolate. It feels like dancing in an empty underground dive bar in the 60s on new years eve. God this was a beauty.

Душа

очень хорошо, приятные 45 минут - 3.5, думал и над 4мя баллами

The voice is outstanding, the lyrics are fun ("Makin' whoopee' is especially hilarious today) and the relaxed lounge jazz vibe has a homeiness to it. Drum patterns are irritating, but can be ignored.
