“For her latest recording, singer Sandy Bainum decided to go with an album of all original songs, songs written by her album’s Grammy-nominated producer, Bruce Kimmel. Bainum sings plaintive ballads –“It Doesn’t Get Easier” and “No Letting Go,” as well as upbeat numbers — “I See Rainbows,” and “Two Roads” (written with Richard M. Sherman of the Sherman Brothers)…Bainum’s luscious voice caresses the lyrics of ballads such as the ode to marriage, “Truly Married,” and brings out every ounce of melancholy in “Three Acts.” …” Lanny Meyers’ arrangements and orchestrations are a third star of the album.”

Sandy Bainum flashes all these smiles in It Might Be Fun….The songs are all likeable ones by Bruce Kimmel and arranged by Lanny Meyers; the trio worked together before on the Kritzerland label and it shows.…A huge orchestra brings a lush, full sound—lovingly balanced and brought out to serve the songs rather wallpaper or overwhelm them.”
