Bare (Barb Jungr album)

Bare is a 1999 album by British singer Barb Jungr. It is a collection of primarily acoustic songs, notable for its intimate and emotionally raw interpretations of popular music from a variety of genres. Unlike some of Jungr's other work, which often incorporates theatrical arrangements and larger ensembles, Bare features a minimalist approach, focusing on Jungr's voice and piano accompaniment, typically provided by Jenny Carr. The album emphasizes vulnerability and personal expression.

The tracklist includes songs by artists such as Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, and Edith Piaf, among others. Jungr's renditions are known for their depth of feeling and reinterpretation of lyrical meaning, exploring themes of love, loss, and resilience. The album received positive critical reception for its stripped-down production and Jungr's powerful vocal performance.
