“A collection of first take vocals of songs I’ve written with raw magic and real passion that can only be captured in a first take.”
- Dwayna
This compilation includes “Let Me Be There for You,” a song co-written by Dwayna Litz and Jayne Olderman, which was recorded by Patti LaBelle. This is the “first take” vocal of Dwayna singing it after she wrote it with Jayne.
‘First Take’ is available for download at CD Baby and iTunes.
“…as for her vocal abilities she fits perfectly into this Big Band/Jazz genera – like a glove.”
“Her voice goes down smooth and her vibrato is to die for. Like the aforementioned; she fills the Big Band Jazz space flawlessly. Along the way you will no doubt notice some of her vocal influences which may include, Barbra Streisand, Natalie Cole, and Ella Fitzgerald and of course Judy Garland and Doris Day. All songs are extremely well crafted and consistent across the board. Litz delivers 13 solid tracks all providing deep, thought provoking wisdom with messages that are uplifting and positive.”

“Dwayna’s unique vocal style is well complemented by a terrific horn section, growling alto sax, and soulful piano backing her up all the way. The plunger trumpet solo is perfect as we watch Dwayna dancing to “Satisfy My Soul.” Viewers will be reminded of Bonnie Raitt as they watch Dwayna’s relaxed and confident performance.”
