Album Description

At twenty-two, singer-songwriter Melody Gardot has a hauntingly beautiful voice that can melt event the hardest of hearts. Drenched in a sublime vapour of mellow blues, eclectic folk and above all jazz, Worrisome Heart is a ten-track collection of original songs co-produced by Melody Gardot and Grammy Award winning producer Glenn Barratt. With a superb narrative, nuanced phrasing and skillfully constructed arrangements, this is a rare and unique album.

Echoes of Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald belie her jazz heritage, whilst her lyrics communicate a wise, determined and occasionally lighthearted take on life. Backed by the some of the finest musicians on the American jazz scene, Melody has already drawn rave reviews across the USA, and she is now set to take the UK by storm. Please welcome the next, and brightest, jazz star of the twenty first century.

Customer Reviews

A little gem
This is really a nice discovery, if you don't know Melody Gardot's tunes. I didn't know of her before listening to this, and I was pleasantly surprised to find the awful cover concealed a tight little collection of songs. The production takes up the baton from, say, Ray La Montagne or Madeleine Peyroux, if you happen to know either of those chaps, being all smoky clubs and drum brushes and minor key niceness. Though it could be said to threaten, it never drops into hokey caricature, but delivers I think an honest collection of songs, well worth repeated listening.

Truly excellent
A marvellous disc. She was great on Jools and this should not be missed. But it!
