According to multi-Grammy Award winner Kabir Sehgal, “Kathy Sanborn's Recollecting You is a romantic tour de force.” The songs cover a range of romantic sensations, like waiting breathlessly for a lover to arrive for a rendezvous, getting swept up in the heightened sensations of a new affair, feeling the void of a lover lost, and finding a path back to love in the aftermath, yet it also touches on the love born of family and friendship.
