About Lips: Music For Saying It

Lips: Music for Saying It is a 1999 live album by Jane Siberry. It presents material she recorded at a 1996 concert at the famed New York City jazz club The Bottom Line. The material includes both original songs by Siberry and covers of other songwriters, all organized around the theme of self-expression. The album also includes the song "Mimi Speaks", a sequel to her first hit "Mimi on the Beach" (from 1984's No Borders Here). In the original song, Mimi was merely observed by the narrator; in "Mimi Speaks", Siberry presents Mimi's perspective. It was one of four concerts she performed at The Bottom Line. Two of the others appear on the double album Child: Music for the Christmas Season, and the last appears on Tree: Music for Films and Forests. All three albums have also been released as the New York City Trilogy box set. more »
