Patti Zlaket reclaims her voice on 'Tunes' [Deluxe Edition]

Time has a way of casting songs in new light, and Patti Zlaket’s Tunes [Deluxe Edition] gleams with that alchemy. This remastered collection feels like a reclamation, a thoughtful reflection of where she’s been, rendered with the clarity of where she’s going.

Thanks to the deft hands of Blake Morgan behind the remastering desk, these tracks hum with renewed presence. The production enhances the original emotional textures, giving Zlaket’s vocals a kind of immediacy that’s hard to fake. From the tender ache in 'Where Were You' to the quietly triumphant 'You Need A Woman', each track feels as if it’s being rediscovered in real time.

But perhaps most compelling are the new additions. 'Waiting For The Cue' is a standout, not only for the silky guest appearance by Wayne Johnson, but for how seamlessly it fits within the album’s emotional landscape.

There’s something beautifully unvarnished in Zlaket’s delivery, honest without being indulgent, graceful without retreating into nostalgia. 'Tunes' doesn’t yearn for the past; it reframes it, delivering a project that honours the passage of time while resisting its erosion.

If 'Tunes' was once a snapshot of a moment, this Deluxe Edition is the negative reprocessed with sharper contrast and greater emotional depth. What emerges is an artist still in motion and still reaching.

For new listeners, this is a graceful point of entry. And for longtime fans, it’s a well-earned moment of reconnection. Either way, it leaves you listening to the space between the notes, where growth quietly lives.
