Diana Krall is a Canadian jazz pianist and singer known for her contralto vocals. She has sold more than 15 million albums worldwide, including over six million in the US. On December 11, 2009, Billboard magazine named her the second greatest jazz artist of the decade (2000–2009), establishing her as one of the best-selling artists of her time.
Krall is the only jazz singer to have eight albums debut at the top of the Billboard Jazz Albums chart. To date, her albums have garnered multiple GRAMMY® Awards, 10 Juno Awards, and have earned nine gold, three platinum, and seven multi-platinum albums. Her unique artistry transcends any single musical style and has made her one of the most recognizable artists of our time. As The New York Times recently noted, she possesses “a voice at once cool and sultry, wielded with a rhythmic sophistication.”
Krall’s 1999 release of “When I Look in Your Eyes” spent an unprecedented 52 weeks in the No. 1 position on Billboard’s Jazz chart, won multiple GRAMMY® Awards, and went platinum in the United States and Canada.
Since the 1993 release of Stepping Out, her debut studio album, she has released more than a dozen albums, including Only Trust Your Heart in 1995, All for You: A Dedication to the Nat King Cole Trio in 1996, Love Scenes in 1997, When I Look in Your Eyes in 1999, The Look of Love in 2001, The Girl in the Other Room in 2004, Christmas Songs in 2005, From This Moment On in 2006, Quiet Nights in 2009, Glad Rag Doll in 2012, Wallflower in 2015, Turn Up the Quiet in 2017 and Love Is Here to Stay, with Tony Bennett, in 2018.
Her latest release, This Dream of You, has garnered critical acclaim from fans and press alike. Released in 2020, the album collects Krall’s scores of studio recordings she performed with her longtime producer Tommy LiPuma before his death in 2017. In addition to the title track — which is her rendition of the Bob Dylan song — the album features songs such as “But Beautiful,” “Autumn in New York,” “Almost Like Being in Love,” “How Deep Is the Ocean” and “Singing in the Rain.”
