Love Songs is the eighth studio album by American singer and pianist Diane Schuur, released in 1993 on the GRP Records label. The album received a Grammy Award nomination for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Performance.[1]
Scott Yanow of AllMusic noted that the jazz content of this Sсhuur disc is quite insignificant, but in fact it is one of the singer's best recordings. In his opinion, she has a wonderful voice here, with which she performs uncomplicated versions of ten old ballads accompanied by a string orchestra, and Sсhuur really stands out in a restrained setting, which makes this record an excellent pop record. In a review by Billboard magazine, they stated that in most tracks, with the support of the orchestra, cloying arrangements sound, which, however, is compensated by the warm phrasing of Schuur and the greatness of the material itself.[2] M. R. Martinez from Cash Box wrote that this collection of songs is an excellent bet on a hit, since Tom Scott is engaged in most of the production, recording It remains fresh, juicy and chic, and Sсhuur brings his emotionally refined interpretation to the mix.[3]
