Female Vocalist of the Year - Island
Music Awards 2006
"This second release by indie folk noir singer-songwriter
Kristia Di Gregorio is just drenched in atmosphere of the decidedly moody-jazz variety... thick with the breathy humidity and decaying eroticism of old New Orleans."
John Threlfall, Monday Magazine
"Her smoky-cool, jazz-inspired vocals bring these lyrics to life.
The entire song demonstrates Di Gregorio's ability to manipulate her voice to convey the lyrical message."
The Sudbury Gazette
"Brooding and self-consciously elegant."
Tom Harrison, The Province
In the dark we wrestle with God and love and drink. The stars come out, our guards break down, we share our secrets and mourn our pasts. We are searching, we are sleeping, and Kristia Di Gregorio is lulling us into the sweetest of dreams...
Kristia Di Gregorio's brand of smoky-cool vocals and jazz based folk noir is hauntingly influenced by old-world New Orleans, jasmine perfume and all things humidly timeworn. Her passionate vocal stylings and come-hither whispers conjure sultry nightclub singers and torch-song balladeers, but her all-original repertoire of velvety vocals and seductive arrangements is anything but your predictable jazz standard.
Kristia has just released her latest CD entitled Any Given Night. The songs illuminate the city at night, ushering the listener through the minds of many… lovers, philosophers, professionals... By night she travels though noisy clubs and dimly-lit apartments, wanders streets and uncovers hidden meeting places. Di Gregorio invites you, beckons you, to follow her.
Kristia Di Gregorio pushes the boundaries of traditional folk, jazz and blues for a sound that is at once dynamic and subtle, flirtatious and coy, sexy and dark, “leaving the listener yearning for more of her… and no one else.” Warren Footz, SEE Magazine.
