Singer Shepley Metcalf’s new CD, “Something Irresistible: Songs of Fran Landesman + Simon Wallace” is just that — irresistible. A selection of songs written by the woman behind the 1955 jazz standard “Spring Can Really Hang You Up The Most,” Landesman’s music is mostly unknown in the United States. Metcalf brings them to light — the CD is the first recording of Landesman’s and Wallace’s music by a U.S. singer — and she also brings them to life, underscoring the clever lyrics with her smooth, expressive singing.
