Olivia Trummer - Like Water (2025) [Official Digital Download 24/96]

Like Water is an apt title for singer and pianist Olivia Trummer’s latest release, the first solo recording in an already distinguished career as a jazz and classical recording artist. This is an album of rare intimacy, one that feels like more like a single, seamless performance than a recording session: spontaneous in feel, warmly emotive in delivery. Trummer is virtuosic as both singer and player, with a gift for novel arrangements, executed in an elegantly understated fashion. Indeed, like water itself, this set flows naturally, and often unexpectedly, from a classical prelude to a deconstructed jazz standard to original compositions, sung in English, German and Italian.

Though the spotlight here belongs to Trummer, Like Water is the result of a unique collaboration, notable for the producer behind the board as well as the gifted artist in front of the mic. Like Water was produced by Russ Titelman, a storied figure in the world of record-making, whose career extends from session work in the sixties with Phil Spector and the Beach Boys, among many others, to helming some of the greatest pop
and rock recordings of the last century, from such artists as Rickie Lee Jones, Randy Newman, Steve Winwood, Chaka Kahn, George Harrison and Eric Clapton. With his finely tuned ear, the New York City-based Titelman remains, in spirit, an intrepid A&R guy, listening for new talent in the clubs and online, and reaching out directly to artists when he gets excited about someone he hears. After coming across a video of Trummer on YouTube Titelman felt compelled to contact her.
