Description

Fourth album from the American jazz chanteuse, following 2006's 'Half The Perfect World'. As opposed to previous efforts, on this release she wrote or co-wrote all of the album's eleven songs with her long-time producer Larry Klein and various other collaborators. Responses have been generally positive to a set which evokes the spirit of Billie Holiday through a series of vignettes on heartbreak and loss delivered in Peyroux's inimitable dulcet tones.

Press Reviews

3 stars out of 5 -- "Peyroux still sings in dark colors, but she makes a conscious attempt to rise above mere melancholy with her lyrics and vocals. Down Beat (p.80)

[I]t's interesting to hear that Victrola voice meet a more contemporary sensibility....[With] smart and emotional material." -- Grade: B Entertainment Weekly (p.61)

[The] pleasure -- from the lonely chamber folk of 'Our Lady of Pigalle' to the sweetly barren jazz of 'Somethin' Grand' -- is all ours as Peyroux wheedles and piques the most from every lyrical phrase. JazzTimes (p.96)

4 stars out of 5 -- "[S]he sings with deeper warmth and presence than ever before....With measured words balanced by easy, glowing grooves filled with Hammond, fiddle and her own sweet-spot acoustic rhythm. Mojo (Publisher) (p.98)

Peyroux crosses over into full-fledged-songwriter terrain, penning or co-authoring all 11 tracks....The quality of her performance remains extraordinarily high... Paste (magazine) (p.64)
