Sobre el álbum
El álbum de 1999, Swing: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack, es la banda sonora de la película del mismo nombre, protagonizada por la propia artista. En este trabajo, Lisa Stansfield se sumerge de lleno en el sonido del swing y el jazz de la era de las big bands, demostrando una vez más su increíble versatilidad como intérprete.
El sonido del disco es un homenaje a la música de los años 40 y 50. Acompañada por una orquesta de jazz, Stansfield reinterpreta clásicos del swing y también presenta algunas composiciones originales escritas en ese mismo estilo. El álbum tiene un aire retro y de una elegancia exquisita.
El proyecto permite a Lisa Stansfield lucirse como una auténtica "crooner". Su voz se adapta a la perfección a la calidez y el ritmo del swing, demostrando que es una vocalista capaz de brillar en cualquier género. Ciertamente, es uno de sus trabajos más singulares y celebrados.
Esta banda sonora es una joya. Es un trabajo que no solo demuestra el talento de Lisa Stansfield como actriz, sino que también es un disco de swing de una calidad extraordinaria. Es una escucha obligada para los amantes de las grandes orquestas y de la música elegante.

- Baby I Need Your Lovin'
- The Best Is Yet To Come
Letra
Out of the tree of life I just picked me a plum You came along and everything started to hum Still it's a real good bet, the best is yet to come The best is yet to come and babe, won't that be fine You think you've seen the sun but you ain't seen it shine Wait till that warmup's underway, wait till our lips have met Wait till you see that sunshine day, you ain't seen nothin' yet The best is yet to come and babe, won't that be fine The best is yet to come, come the day that you're mine Come the day you're mine I'm gonna teach you to fly We've only tasted the wine We're gonna drain the cup dry Wait 'till your charms are ripe for these arms to surround You think you've flown before but honey, you ain't left the ground Wait 'till you're locked in my embrace, wait 'till I draw you near Wait 'till you see that sunshine place, ain't nothin' like it here The best is yet to come and babe, won't that be fine The best is yet to come, come the day that you're mine Come the day your mine And you're gonna be mine - I Thought That's What You Liked About Me

Letra
It's very clear, our love is here to stay Not for one year, but forever and a day The radio and the telephone and the movies that we know May just be passing fancies, but in time they grow But oh my dear, our love is here to stay Not for one year but forever and a day In time the Rockies may crumble, Gibraltar may tumble, they're only made of clay But our love is here to stay But oh my dear, our love is here to stay Not for one year but forever and a day In time the Rockies may crumble, Gibraltar may tumble, they're only made of clay But our love is here to stay But our love is here Our love is here Our love is here to stay - Love Theme

Oh the shark has pretty teeth, dear And he shows them pearly white Just a jack knife has macheath, dear And he keeps it out of sight When the shark bites with his teeth, dear Scarlet billows start to spread Fancy gloves though wears macheath, dear So there's not a trace of red On the sidewalk, sunday morning Lies a body oozing life Someone's sneaking round the corner I'll bet that someone, someone's mack the knife From a tug boat by the river A cement bag's dropping down The cement's just, just for the weight, dear Bet you, I'll bet you mack is back in town Louie miller, he disappeared, dear After drawing out his cash And macheath spends like a sailor Did the boy, did the boy do something rash? Sukey tawdry, jenny diver Polly peachum, and lucy brown Oh the line forms on the right, dear Now that macky's back in town [x2]
