Overview
The 12-song album's emotional depth, organic musicality, and personally charged songcraft will come as a revelation to listeners who are only familiar with Woodward via her 2003 pop hit "Dumb Girls." Seamlessly drawing from a deep well of vintage jazz, swing, R&B, and Latin music influences, Hooked! marks Woodward as an effortlessly engaging, deeply expressive vocalist, an insightful, disarmingly witty songwriter, and distinctive, charismatic interpreter of outside material.
"I wanted to make a modern-day torch record, but I didn't want to do a record of all standards, because I had stuff I wanted to say," says Woodward, adding, "This is the first time I've made a record where I didn't write or co-write all of the songs. At first I was resistant to the idea of doing covers, but then I fell in love with the process of taking a song and trying to make it my own. And I could never write a song like "I Wan'na Be Like You" or "Stardust" or "Sans Souci," so why limit myself?"
Woodward recorded the bulk of Hooked! with legendary producer Tony Visconti, best known for his seminal work with David Bowie and T. Rex. Visconti also plays guitar, bass, ukulele, autoharp and various other instruments on the album, as well as providing string and horn arrangements. Additional tracks on Hooked! were produced by Justin Stanley (Nikka Costa, Eric Clapton) and longtime Woodward collaborators Tim K. (Les Nubians, Colette, Esthero) and Itaal Shur (Groove Collective, Santana).
The new album features vivid, inventive arrangements that incorporate an adventurous array of instrumental textures while keeping the focus firmly on Woodward's voice. "There's not a lot of bells and whistles on this record, and everything was recorded straight-up live," Woodward notes. From the Label
