om/ Rose has moxiethe kind that made multi-hyphenates such as Ann-Margret, Peggy Lee and Bette Midler so appealing in days past. Roses never-say-never attitude has carried her through many an odd challenge over the form of her fascinating career. Whether writing and leading in a major motion picture released by Samuel Goldwyn, getting a mega-deal from Doubleday for her debut novel, or composing and star in an Off-Broadway musical version of that novel, shes always establish a way to get big things happen. Already praised by critics as a writer and actress, she achieves the hat trick with Swingin from the Hip, her debut CD.

Heres a JazzTimes write-up by Christopher Loudon - JAZZTIMES.com - HEARING VOICES Isabel Rose: From Tin Pan Alley to Power Rock 07/19/10-By Christopher Loudon http://jazztimes.com/articles/26306-isabel-rose-from-tin-pan-alley-to-power-rock ITUNES EDITORIAL REVIEW11/10:Author/actress Isabel Rose's talents as a jazz/pop chanteuse shine smartly in these immaculately arranged tracks. Produced by singer/composer Julian Fleisher, the album surrounds Rose in a retro-musical ambiance that both celebrates and has fun with its diverse batch of material. Emulating such exuberant show queens as Ann-Margret, Isabel teases fresh life out of Hairs Aquarius, toys with female fantasies in Thirteen Men and slides from trills to growls in I Enjoy Being a Girl. Stretching further, she transforms Pat Benatars Hit Me With Your Best Shot into a sultry cabaret number and reconsiders Dusty Springfields I Just Wanna Be With You as a slow-burning ballad. Temptation brings her near to early rock territory. Rose finds contemporary meaning in standards like On the Street Where You Know and gets frisky with clever fare like Boy Wanted without descending into camp. Throughout her sweet-toned vocals are pronounced by deft phrasing and a light rhythmic touch. Playful yet heartfelt, Swingin From The Hip is a classy, risk-taking release served with a sly twist.http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/swingin-from-the-hip/id383138242?ign-mpt=uo=4 In 2010, a critical consensus quickly emerged for singer Isabel Rose and her one pit of an impressive debut,as illustrious in the ITUNES Editorial review, above, the playful yet heartfelt CD is a classy, risk-taking release served with a sly twist.During a recent in-studio audience with WBAIS EVERYTHING OLD IS NEW AGAIN, the engaging, witty banter between Rose and Host David Kenney revealed her to be an Entertainer in the old-school sense of the word.

NYCS TOWN & VILLAGE NEWSPAPER buzzed, This Album is Pure Fun, and spoke of Roses incandescent charm on The Street Where You Live, adding that her interpretation of 13 Men is the sexiest track to come in some time.
