So Tonight That I Might See
People tend to confuse the band Mazzy Star with it's singer Hope Sandoval. Truth be told, they've been right all along. Sandoval's languid, weeping willow voiceisMazzy Star; the name is a mere formality. With nods to Nico and the Velvet Underground,So Tonight that I Might Seeis vintage Mazzy. Remarkably, the recording produced a strikingly undanceable single, "Fade into You,"  that ascended to respectable rotation on college and AAA radio. The rest of the album sticks close to the single's plaintive, retro balladry. Though Sandoval rarely raises her voice above a sultry whisper, it's bright enough to hold your attention all night.--Nick Heil
