Editorial Review: Album Description: Boasting an enthralling voice many have regarded as reminiscent of Billie Holiday's, Madeleine Peyroux burst onto the music scene eight years ago with the extremely successful release of Dreamland. Championed by major publications such as The New York Times and Time Magazine, Peyroux was immediately recognized as a remarkably talented singer with a promising future. With the release of her long awaited follow-up album Careless Love, Peyroux's potential as an artist is truly realized. Her smoky voice and knowing delivery make each song her own, whether she's singing vintage tunes by W.C. Handy and Hank Williams, or contemporary songs by Leonard Cohen and Elliott Smith. Producer Larry Klein (Joni Mitchell, Shawn Colvin) weaves strands of acoustic blues, country ballads, classic jazz, torch songs and pop into a vibrant fabric that is both timeless and thoroughly up to date, with Peyroux's arresting vocals always front and center. Amazon.com: When Madeleine Peyroux's debut, Dreamland, was released in 1996, its success threw her for a loop. She's taken eight years to create this follow-up, and, at age 30, she brings a confidence and resilience to this dozen-song set. She's able to move seamlessly between songs by writers as diverse as Elliott Smith and W.C. Handy, whose title track was popularized by Bessie Smith. Though American-born, Peyroux absorbed the language and culture of France growing up in Paris with her French-teacher mother. On her debut, she covered Edith Piaf, and this time out she wraps herself around "J'ai Deux Amours," which Josephine Baker sang to the Allied troops during World War II. --David Greenberger Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - A Superb Singer on her Best CDI first heard Peyroux' "Don't Wait Too Long" on NPR and immediately bought the Careless Love CD. What a treasure! At first she did remind me of Holiday, but the more I listened, the more I heard her own sound and style. This is one I can play over and over and never tire of (especially Between the Bars - incredible!). I have probably given this CD to a dozen friends, who in turn have become big fans. While I have also enjoyed her other CDs, this one remains my favorite and, I think, her best. Rating: - This is heaven to me...Contemplative, moody, pensive, deep - Madeleine Peyroux! Range, timbre, in love with love, earthy - Plugged into something greater than herself. This album sends me! The vocals, the musicianship, the sound craft and engineering: "Careless Love" is a must have for anyone who appreciates music. Every cut is a well-crafted gem, the best forty-minutes you'll ever spend on a lazy summer (or rainy) day. "Dance me"..., "You're gonna make me lonesome when you go", "J'a deux amours", "Weary Blues", "This is heaven to me", absolute gems! Madeleine Peyroux is a national treasure. Reminiscent of Billie Holiday upon first impression, her vocal styling really is unique and speaks to her no doubt many influences and experiences in their own right. Can't ... Read More: Rating:  - needing a little moreWhile I agree with the rest of the reviewers that this artist has a gifted singing voice, the lyrics of her song leaves much to be desired. Her articulations are not very clear or convincing, especially in the French songs. All these said, if you are looking for something truly satisfying, opt for an orginal Holiday instead of this imitation. Rating: - My favorite new artist!!I heard "Dance to the End of Love" on MPR and thought, wow neat song and ordered the CD. Kinda bluesy, kinda Billy Holiday. Whats not to like there? The more I listened to the CD, the more I liked it. Such a variety of instruments, clever lyrics. Just love the whole thing. Madeline Peroux, prepare for fame. Rating:  - not her best workI'm a big fan and I guess my expectations are high. Or maybe I should have bought her early work (this) first. Later work is wonderful. This is merely lovely. |
