Unforgettable With Love by Natalie Cole.
There are tribute albums, and then there is Unforgettable With Love, Natalie Cole's radiant embrace of the songbook her father made famous. Across four sides of music, she steps into the standards of Nat King Cole not as a mere imitator but as a daughter in conversation with her legacy, bringing warmth, poise, and a voice utterly her own to material that has shaped American popular song for generations.
The sequencing rewards a long, unhurried listen. Side A opens with the tender sway of "The Very Thought Of You" before easing into the playful lilt of "Paper Moon" and the rolling swing of "Route 66." "Mona Lisa" and "L-O-V-E" follow, songs so deeply tied to the Cole name that hearing Natalie deliver them feels like a passing of the torch. By the time "This Can't Be Love" closes the side, the album's blend of romance and buoyant charm is fully established.
The heart of the collection lies in its ballads and its ambition. "Smile" and the haunting "Lush Life" showcase Natalie's ability to hold a lyric with quiet gravity, while "Orange Colored Sky" bursts with color and mischief. A gorgeous medley weaving "For Sentimental Reasons," "Tenderly," and "Autumn Leaves" gathers three beloved standards into a single flowing statement, a highlight that lingers long after the needle lifts.
Sides C and D keep the momentum, moving from the finger snapping fun of "Straighten Up And Fly Right" and "Avalon" through the mellow ache of "Don't Get Around Much Anymore" and the wistful "Too Young." "Nature Boy" arrives with its mysterious, almost hymnlike air, and the multilingual charm of "Darling, Je Vous Aime Beaucoup" and "Non Dimenticar" adds a cosmopolitan sparkle. The final stretch, from "Almost Like Being In Love" and "Thou Swell" to "Our Love Is Here To Stay," builds toward the inevitable and unforgettable title track that gives the album its name and its emotional center.
The care behind this pressing matches the music. Executive produced by Natalie Cole and Tommy LiPuma, the album has been remastered by Bill Inglot and Dan Hersch, with lacquers cut by the legendary Bernie Grundman. That lineage of craftsmanship translates to a listening experience where the vocals sit forward and the arrangements breathe with clarity and depth.
This particular edition is a Target Exclusive pressed on striking opaque pink vinyl, a collectible variant that makes it stand out on any shelf. For lovers of vocal jazz and the great American songbook, it is a beautifully realized package that honors a timeless catalog while celebrating one of its finest interpreters.
