Freda Forever

In 1892, America was obsessed with a teenage murderess, but it wasn't her crime that shocked the nation—it was her motivation. Nineteen-year-old Alice Mitchell had planned to pass as a man in order to marry her seventeen-year-old fiancée Freda Ward, but when their love letters were discovered, they were forbidden from ever speaking again. Freda adjusted to this fate with an ease that stunned a heartbroken Alice. Her desperation grew with each unanswered letter—and her father's razor soon went missing. On January 25, Alice publicly slashed her ex-fiancée's throat.

Though best known for her 1970 smash pop hit "Band of Gold", Freda Payne has always first and foremost been a jazz singer. "Come Back To Me Love" marks not only a return to the big band and strings-laden classics from her mid-1960s beginnings on Impulse! but is also a return to her hometown of Detroit. That makes this album, featuring Grammy winner Bill Cunliffe’s musical arrangements, a beautiful homecoming. Payne sings some of her longtime favourites alongside several original tunes, the music split between powerful big band jazz and classy contemporary pop with strings.
