Summary: This is heaven to me...
Comment: Contemplative, moody, pensive, deep - Madeleine Peyroux! Range, timbre, in love with love, earthy - Plugged into something greater than herself. This album sends me! The vocals, the musicianship, the sound craft and engineering: "Careless Love" is a must have for anyone who appreciates music. Every cut is a well-crafted gem, the best forty-minutes you'll ever spend on a lazy summer (or rainy) day. "Dance me"..., "You're gonna make me lonesome when you go", "J'a deux amours", "Weary Blues", "This is heaven to me", absolute gems! Madeleine Peyroux is a national treasure. Reminiscent of Billie Holiday upon first impression, her vocal styling really is unique and speaks to her no doubt many influences and experiences in their own right. Can't wait to pick up the rest of her songbook. Recommend it, I would!!!

Summary: needing a little more
Comment: While I agree with the rest of the reviewers that this artist has a gifted singing voice, the lyrics of her song leaves much to be desired. Her articulations are not very clear or convincing, especially in the French songs. All these said, if you are looking for something truly satisfying, opt for an orginal Holiday instead of this imitation.

Summary: My favorite new artist!!
Comment: I heard "Dance to the End of Love" on MPR and thought, wow neat song and ordered the CD. Kinda bluesy, kinda Billy Holiday. Whats not to like there? The more I listened to the CD, the more I liked it. Such a variety of instruments, clever lyrics. Just love the whole thing. Madeline Peroux, prepare for fame.
Customer Rating:
Summary: not her best work
Comment: I'm a big fan and I guess my expectations are high. Or maybe I should have bought her early work (this) first. Later work is wonderful. This is merely lovely.
Customer Rating:
Summary: careless love
Comment: I love this woman's smooth sound. After a long day at the office, this album is just what I need to get me through the drive home.

Editorial Reviews:
|
Boasting an enthralling voice many have regarded as reminiscent of Billie Holiday's, Madeleine Peyroux burst onto the music scene eight years ago with the extremely successful release of Dreamland. Championed by major publications such as The New York Times and Time Magazine, Peyroux was immediately recognized as a remarkably talented singer with a promising future. With the release of her long awaited follow-up album Careless Love, Peyroux's potential as an artist is truly realized. Her smoky voice and knowing delivery make each song her own, whether she's singing vintage tunes by W.C. Handy and Hank Williams, or contemporary songs by Leonard Cohen and Elliott Smith. Producer Larry Klein (Joni Mitchell, Shawn Colvin) weaves strands of acoustic blues, country ballads, classic jazz, torch songs and pop into a vibrant fabric that is both timeless and thoroughly up to date, with Peyroux's arresting vocals always front and center.
