On Love Is the Answer, Barbra Streisand takes on songs that have towered over the pop canon for decades. This edition pairs Diana Krall’s smoky jazz-quartet reworkings of standards like the gently insomniac “In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning” and the bereft “Smoke Gets In Your Eyes” with richer, yet still subtly orchestrated, versions of the same chestnuts. Love gives Streisand the opportunity to showcase her stadium-sized talent in nightclub close-up—and it cements her status as America’s premier pop vocalist.
