Diana Krall's brand-new Verve recording, The Look of Love, debuts at #9 on
Billboard's Top Current Albums chart. With first-week sales of over 94,000
units, the album finds GRAMMY®-winner Krall surrounded by such contemporary
company as Alicia Keys, P.O.D., Martina McBride, and Jay-Z in the Top 10.

Released on September 18th, The Look of Love (Verve Records), is a
collection of classic standards and bossa nova favorites enhanced by the
lush orchestral arrangements of Claus Ogerman. The album was produced by
Verve Music Group Chairman Tommy LiPuma, who has produced four of Krall's
previous recordings, including the GRAMMY® winners When I Look In Your Eyes
and Love Scenes.

The Look of Love has already earned impressive accolades from the media,
including USA TODAY, The Los Angeles Times, Entertainment Weekly, and
Billboard, which calls the album "a classic."

The pianist and vocalist will embark on a world tour beginning in October,
coupled with select TV appearances in the fall.

Verve Music Group President Ron Goldstein commented, "We are obviously
thrilled with the initial success on Diana Krall's new album, both in the
United States and throughout the world (#1 Canada, #1 Portugal, #5 France,
#15 Germany, #17 Spain #23 U.K.). The fact that this success has occurred
without a hit single, video or soundtrack in today's music business is a
tribute to the combined belief and dedication of artist, management,
booking agent, distribution company, producer and record label."

Michael Kauffman, Senior Vice President of Sales & Catalog Development for
The Verve Music Group said, "The support from the retail community has been
phenomenal in setting up this release. The Universal Music &Video
Distribution team has gone beyond the call of duty in their efforts in
helping us achieve this amazing debut."
