Editorial Reviews
From 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
great cd (2006-02-05)  I purchased this cd based on the reviews on this forum and I would have to agree with the others. This is a wonderful album. Madeleine's voice is timeless and unique. Yes, her voice is reminiscent of Billie Holiday but she's got her own definite style. She adds the right amount of subtle playful sultriness to her songs which makes her interpretations memorable. I highly recommend this!
VELVET VOICE (2005-06-17) I bought this CD having never heard of Madeleine Peyroux and can't stop listening to it. She has a velvety smooth voice, which lends itself to a very easy and soothing listening experience. Beautiful and calming, and makes a great CD to play during an evening get together with family/friends.
It never leaves my CD Player! (2005-06-11) This is one of my most favourite CD's. I can't stop listening to it over and over. I particularly like this CD as it has a great selection of tunes covering all tempos. The band is wonderful and Madeleine has one of the most unique soothing voices I've ever heard. I bought 3 copies as gifts and all the recipients have fallen in love with this CD. It's a winner!
absolutely beautiful (2005-03-14) it's very comforting to know that music of this caliber is still being made. madeleine is definitely the billie holiday of our generation. it's probably best that you buy this cd now. i recommend it.
Brilliant, Marvelous !! (2004-10-22) This is a fabulous & delightful music! so much of Billy Holiday's voice but with all Madelaine's magical spirit, softness & love.
