This was the first Billie Holiday album I heard all the way through. I knew of Billie beforehand from timeless songs like "God Bless The Child" and "Strange Fruit" and a compilation my dad lent me but "Lady In Satin" was a whole new experience. The album comprises of sad songs of lost love which Billie turns into torch songs with her gravelly voice that echoes emotions such as pain and longing. I really loved it. 5/5.
Tracks I enjoyed the most: I'm A Fool To Want You, You Don't Know What Love Is, I Get Along Without You Very Well, But Beautiful & The End Of A Love Affair.
