After phenomenal success of her previous two albums “Songs for a Ladies Man” and “Borderless Sky,” Vancouver, Canada-based singer/songwriter Eva Schubert is back with her new EP “Hot Damn Romance.” Inspired by great jazz artists like Leonard Cohen, Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Sade, and Jill Barber, this new CD features distinct vintage texture in Eva’s typical unique style. Thoughtful lyrics and effortless guitar without any contemporary production elements make “Hot Damn Romance” a truly old school jazz presentation. It’s in fact real musicians playing live in a studio that’s been translated into a CD.
