The Girl in the Other Room

The Girl in the Other Room is the seventh studio album by Canadian singer Diana Krall, released on March 31, 2004, by Verve Records.

In addition to cover versions, it is Krall's first (and as of 2025 only) album to include original material, which she co-wrote with her husband Elvis Costello.

On the Verve Records website, Krall explains the songwriting for the album in more detail: "I wrote the music and then Elvis and I talked about what we wanted to say.

"Departure Bay" is written about her hometown of Nanaimo, British Columbia, on Vancouver Island and the first Christmas without her mother and finishes the album.

A reviewer of NPR commented, "The release is a departure from her past work, in that it bypasses interpretations of jazz standards in favor of new songs written by Krall and her husband, Elvis Costello".

The spirit of Nat King Cole, Jimmy Rowles and Ray Brown continues to guide her at every turn".
