Swoony lounge with a kitschy kick
Richard D. Curtin spins a tale about the darker side of romance with “Say That We’re Sweethearts Again.” This droll sadomasochistic ballad was originally written by Earl K. Brent and became the hit song for the 1943 Lucille Ball vehicle, “Meet the People.”
For this recording, Curtin teams up with producer-pianist Mark Carroll, the Dallas-based jazz legend who’s worked with Peggy Lee and Marlene Dietrich.
A clever number, “Say That We’re Sweethearts Again” is about obsession and maliciously injuring your partner. It’s the kinkiest single since “Super Freak.” And Curtin’s update is a triumph for bossy bottoms everywhere.
