Get A Look Inside The Mind Of Madeleine Peyroux Through Bare Bones
Madeleine is still bring the hits, after four consecutive solo albums, with her latest release “Bare Bones”. From her small time beginnings on the streets of Paris, she has worked her way to the top of the industry and her fans can wait to her what she brings forth next.
In addition to an amazing vocal performance, which quite frankly she is known for, she also had a hand in writing all 11 of these new tracks. She even wrote the track I Must Be Saved, completely on her own. Her voice is enthralling and sultry as with each breath she drags you further into her own world. The tracks on this CD vary as much as anyone’s life experiences do, ranging from the more upbeat sounds of tracks such as Instead and To Love You All Over Again, two of my favorite tracks to the more melancholy sounds of River of Tears and Homeless Happiness, there is something to express both ends of the spectrum and everything in between.
The title track Bare Bones is a rare work with that Billy Holiday sound that brings true soul and passion to the album, making it a remarkable collection and a must have for all Blues and Jazz fans. And of course the track Something Grand which she wrote in support of the new era with Barack Obama just adds to the power of this album.
Overall, Madeleine is an incredible artist with a lot to say and an astonishing way to say it. Although she is only 34 and relatively new to the music industry she provides a unique style and talent into the Jazz genre.
As a child, Peyroux spent time is a shelter for domestic abuse victims, therefore she is donating a dollar from every concert ticket sold to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence. She feels this is a great way to to bless others with her gift and help out the community at the same time. This album is her most personal yet, it has an easy listening quality and underlying message of her unique interpretation of life.
