Long description
Careless Love might be SA’s first introduction to Madeleine Peyroux’s honey-vocal jazz and lazy blues, but across the ocean her debut ‘Dreamland’ received unconstrained critical acclaim. It’s been seven years since – a time spent busking on the streets of Paris - but finally she returns with a Billie Holiday inspired album of elegant blues and whispering melancholia. In a genre dominated by Grammy winning superstars there is a seductive depth of emotion in the earthy huskiness of this fabulous new voice that sets her apart from contemporary stars of genre. Highlights include silky covers of Leonard Cohen’s “Dance Me to the End of Love” and Bob Dylan’s “You’re Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go”.
