Enchanting
If you like the voices of Billie Holliday and Ella Fitzgerald at their melancholy best then you'll like this CD.
Madeleine Peyroux has the reputation for being an offbeat and thoughtful character. Maybe because she takes her art so seriously. Strange fruit that is essentially beautiful.
Original artist, new definition of "easy listening"
When I heard Peyroux' delicious tempo on her re-interpretation of "J'ai deux amours" and those delightful piano sounds on it, I was lost.
And who would dare to cover Leonard Cohen's "Dance Me to the End of Love"? But she succeeds and makes it her own.
Madeleine Peyroux has a marvellous "timeless" voice that brings you in another world or time. She creates a wonderful, warm and smooth jazzy atmosphere, with a country touch, indeed like Norah Jones, despite many differences too. And the occasional hammond organ is adorable!
Yet let's not forget that you either adore or hate this kind of voice, there is no way in between.
Many sweeeeet songs, not necessarily world class, but highly entertaining nevertheless. Redefines "EASY listening": very easy and pleasing to the ear. Always gives me a happy feeling!
But the top of all for me is "I'll Look Around", a touching superslow jazz ballad with remarkable phrasing, which, in my opinion, beats Billie Holiday's original! And I'd like to mention the very nice lyrics of this song too!
Beautiful music
This album is a delight. All the tracks are slightly different although they all live loosely in the jazz/blues arena. Madeleine plays the guitar with a sure touch and her gorgeous singing voice is like Billie Holliday, only more so if that's possible. I defy anyone to listen to this and not end up smiling.
