We are proud to announce the release of Antonia Bennett's debut release, Embrace Me. With a gifted voice, Antonia Bennett has the ability to make a song her own. On this album she covers the likes of Porter, Gershwin, Hammerstein, Cahn, Kern and other greats from the American Songbook of standards. Like Peggy Lee, Billie Holiday, Rosemary Clooney and other legendary singers, Antonia phrases each lyric with involvement and depth of feeling. Like her father, Tony Bennett, she always chooses to sing the best material, working with the finest musicians. She's never content to stop learning her craft, developing her singing skills, while opening for her father, or in other venues at Radio City Music Hall, Caesar's Palace, or the Newport Jazz Festival. Years ago, Count Basie recorded a Neil Hefti tune called "Softly With Feeling." That's the quality inherent in every song in this collection. This is what her father says about Antonia: "Antonia's got the gift. She has good time. She sings in tune. She has a good spontaneous feeling for phrasing. And that is something that you either got it or you haven't got it. There's no way that you can teach that to somebody. If you got it, you got it, and Antonia's got it."

Track Listing

Press Quotes

Conjures echoes of Billie Holiday and Rickie Lee Jones (with a hint of Betty Boop).

     —New York Times

As a musician she sings the right songs, in tune and with feeling. She also knows how to phrase. When I perform with her, I love the audience reaction. They get a big kick out of it, and I love it.

     —Tony Bennett

She has the kind of voice you want to listen to while you curl up with a cup of hot cocoa and a kitten in your lap. She has her own sound and it isn't anything like her father.
