Album Review: Speaking Confidentially / I’m In The Mood For Love by Frances Langford with Mahlon Merrick And His Music Alright, let’s cut to the chase. This 1935 gem from Down Under—yeah, Australia—isn’t your run-of-the-mill pop record. It’s got guts, charm, and a vibe that slaps harder than most modern crap out there. Frances Langford? She doesn’t just sing; she owns these tracks like they’re hers by birthright. Backed by Mahlon Merrick and his crew, this thing hits different. Real talk. First up, “Speaking Confidentially.” Damn, if this track doesn’t grab you by the collar and whisper sweet nothings into your ear, you might need to check your pulse. The lyrics are smooth as silk, courtesy of McHugh & Fields, but it’s Langford who brings the heat. Her voice is warm, inviting, yet kinda sassy—it’s like she’s letting you in on a secret only the two of you share. You can practically picture some smoky jazz club in Melbourne, people leaning in closer because they don’t wanna miss a word. That hook? Stays lodged in your brain for days. Not annoyingly so, though. More like…comfortably haunting. Then there’s “I’m In The Mood For Love,” which flips the mood entirely. If “Confidentially” is intimate, this one’s straight-up romantic. Like candles-on-a-table romantic. But don’t get it twisted—it ain’t cheesy. Langford delivers every line with this raw honesty that makes you believe her. When she sings about love, you feel it. And those lush orchestral swells from Merrick’s band? They hit all the right notes without overdoing it. By the end, you’ll find yourself thinking, “Man, why don’t they make music like this anymore?” Spoiler alert: They probably couldn’t even if they tried. Released on Regal Zonophone (big ups to them for backing this masterpiece), this album screams class while still keeping things grounded. Sure, it’s old-school, but it feels timeless. Like wearing a vintage leather jacket—classic but edgy enough to turn heads. Here’s the kicker: Listening to this now feels almost rebellious. In an era where everything's auto-tuned and formulaic, here’s a record that dares to be human. Screw perfection—it’s realness that sticks. So next time someone asks what you’ve been spinning, throw ‘em a curveball. Hit ‘em with Frances Langford. Watch their reaction when they realize how much soul was packed into 1935. Oh, and one last thing—you ever notice how sometimes the best stuff comes from places you least expect? Yeah, me neither. Until now.

Interesting fact about Album

Here’s a fun fact: Back in 1935, Australia got its hands on a smooth little pop album called *Speaking Confidentially / I’m In The Mood For Love*. It featured Frances Langford, whose voice was pure magic, backed by Mahlon Merrick and his band. The songs were written by McHugh & Fields, who really knew how to craft a tune. This record came out on the Regal Zonophone label, and it’s a cool piece of history for anyone into vintage vocal jazz. Not bad for nearly a century ago, right?
