Get A Look Inside The Mind Of Madeleine Peyroux Through Bare Bones
With four consecutive solo albums the hits keep coming for Madeleine. From her insufficient beginnings on the streets of Paris, she has risen to the top, and her fans can’t wait to hear what comes next in her latest release, Bare Bones.
Madeleine, gives an amazing vocal performance, as always, but has also had a personal hand in writing each of the eleven album tracks. Her captivating and sultry voice brings you further into her world with each breath and the tracks vary much like a persons life experiences. From upbeat tracks such as “Instead”, and “To Love You All Over Again” to the gloomy sounds of “River of Tears” and “Homeless”, and every mood 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.
In all, this incredible artist has a lot to say, and an incredible way to say it. At 34 this relatively new addition to the music scene provides a unique style and talent bringing a new twist into the Jazz genre.
Peyroux, having spent time in a domestic violence shelter herself as a child, is currently donating a dollar from every concert ticket that she sells to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, finding a way to not only bless others with her gift, but to give back to the community as well. By far this is her best and most personal album yet, with an easy listening quality and the underlying message of her own unique interpretation of life.
