Alone in Iz World
Description
This posthumous 2001 collection of unissued songs and
alternate arrangements puts the spotlight firmly on Iz’s sublimely soothing
voice. His beautiful renditions of Over the Rainbow and Mona Lisa join
Hi’ilawe; ‘Opae E; ‘Ulili E; La ‘Elima; Panini Pua Kea; Kaleohano; In This
Life , and more. The artist behind Facing Future, the top-selling
Hawaiian album of all time, the late Israel “IZ” Kamakawiwo’ole was possessed
of a voice so sweet, so tender, and so lovely that it continues to deeply stir
those who hear it long after he died. Lovingly assembled and notated by
producer Jon de Mello, Alone in IZ World is comprised of both alternate
versions of Kamakawio’ole’s best-loved songs as well as tracks never before
heard by the public. The latter category includes versions of “Hanohano No Na
Cowboy,” the playfully incomplete opening on “Mona Lisa,” and “Twinkle,
Twinkle Little Star,” on which IZ takes a rare turn at harmonizing with
himself. In light of his premature passing, devastatingly beautiful alternate
cuts of “Starting All Over Again” and “In This Life” are especially poignant.
And “Over the Rainbow”–IZ’s renditions were heard in Meet Joe Black and
Finding Forrester–may never again sound so pure. –Paige La Grone
