Cassandra Wilson is essentially coming at pop tunes from a jazz singer's perspective. The result is a bold amalgam that is neither pop nor jazz, but owes debts to both traditions. Betwixt all those tools and the classic pop material, Wilson creates a new world in which her voice moves freely through genre lines with grace and vitality.

Reviews5 Stars (out of 5) - "Instant classic....A warmly inviting and authentic voice promoting multicultural roots, who imbues all she appropriates with genius far surpassing post-modern gloss, Wilson recasts the American songbook....What's so satisfying is that Wilson's realizations revivify material from within their original intent...", Ranked #15 in the Village Voice's 1996 Pazz & Jop Critics' Poll., "...Treating pop songs without snobbery, unafraid to muddy the perceptions of what a jazz singer should and shouldn't do, Wilson continues her beguiling journey into pop's heart of darkness." - Rating: A-, "...this singer leaps out of nowhere to nail a wide interval or to unerringly navigate a difficult melody....NEW MOON DAUGHTER will continue to win her the big audience she deserves...", 4 Stars (out of 5) - "...this is an album of such elegant melodies and emotion that Wilson should transcend the jazz genre as easily as Alison Krauss has transcended bluegrass..."
