- So, do we get the other half soon?
I enjoyed MP's previous album, and picked this one up based upon that success. I was not disappointed. It's a great jazz vocal effort, one of my favorites of the year so far. It's definitely an album, and not a collection of songs, to me.
Rating: - Quirky voice makes me smile
I had heard Madeleine Peyroux's voice very briefly several months ago, and it really made me perk up my ears. I HAD to find out who that was! I was really tickled when I found her album when wandering around Amazon, and have been really pleased with it. She has a really great quirky voice and a comforting rhythm that send me way back to - I don't know - the forties, maybe? Peyroux isn't pop - not enough people will get it - but I know I'll watch avidly for new albums from her.

- Madeleine does it again
Exquisite voice and amazing covers. A star in any country and language.
Rating: - Half the Perfect World (Madeleine Peyroux)
WOW! Purchased on a whim and really like it! Reminds me of Nora Jones - but better. Good to listen to while working, in the car, when company is at the house. Selections are all very "catchy" and each is unique - not just a stylized version of other selections on the CD. Highly recommend.
Rating: - Enigmatic and introspective.
"When Madeleine Peyroux went "missing" in Britain while promoting her breakthrough album "Careless Love", her record company couldn't wait to tell the media. How better to differentiate Peyroux from the rest of the jazz-lite crew than by painting her as a wayward chanteuse?
She hadn't disappeared, of course. She'd simply become bored with the promo-circus and gone back to New York. And who could blame her?
But Madeleine didn't need a vanishing act to raise her above her rivals. Her smoke-and-honey vocals, Billie Holiday phrasing, and breezily bohemian way with classy material had assured her fanbase.
They won't be disappointed by her third release, produced by Joni Mitchell's ex, Larry Klein.
It rolls out a lulling, late-night mix of Tom Waits and Leonard Cohen songs with new material co-written by Jesse Harris, best-known for his collaboration with Norah Jones.
The opener, "I'm All Right", is a lament for a lost love, written with sorrow and wit. As Madeleine pines for the man who smoked stogies and sang Christmas songs in bed, she sings of asking for "a few kind words/ He gave me a novel instead".
Harry Nilsson's "Everybody's Talking" is slowed down to a beach-bar shuffle with delicate cymbals in the surf, and K D Lang contributes trademark stretched notes on a duet of Joni Mitchell's "River".
The songs don't have the rawness of the originals - but what's so wicked about enjoying a warm-hearted, elegant record that doesn't mind a bit of background chatter?"(H.Brown)
