Break out the martini glasses! Judging from this album, what women want is to be wooed with delicious, predominantly '50s and '60s standards from the likes of Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Peggy Lee, and Lou Rawls. Only the upstart exceptions, obviously chosen for their titles (Meredith Brooks' ''Bitch,'' Christina Aguilera's ''What a Girl Wants''), jar the romantic, retro mood.
