With his earnest, romantic renditions of Tin Pan Alley standards and a host of Connick originals composed in that vein, WE ARE IN LOVE put Harry Connick, Jr. over the top as a popular artist. Connick's mentholated vocals are most often compared to Sinatra, but you can also hear the influence of Mel Torme, Chet Baker, Mose Allison and Bobby Dorough, among others. Ultimately though, Connick puts his own stylistic stamp on each selection, with his cool, behind-the-beat phrasing and easygoing swing.

Harry Connick, Jr. is an accomplished singer, pianist, and actor who emerged in the late 1980s as a Sinatra-style crooner for a new generation. As a musician, his influences include bebop, New Orleans jazz, and big-band swing. His score for the film WHEN HARRY MET SALLY brought him national acclaim and an Oscar. He subsequently appeared in a number of films, and made forays into pop music.
