Careless love

"Another big retro-star in the making. This classily produced and coolly graceful set features chunky Hot Club rhythm-guitar backings, lazily driving blues and subtly underplayed Hammond organ breaks. The intelligent choice of terrific songs announces another arrival of the kind of jazz-inflected young singer every record company is currently scouring the planet for".

"Distilling the plaintive timbre of Billie Holiday and emotional nakedness of Edith Piaf, Madeleine Peyroux created her own distinctive style that was simultaneously vintage and contemporary ... Seventeen years on, the record (...) has been expanded with the addition of a previously unissued concert in Spain in the summer of 2005. The studio album album sounds as fresh as it did back in 2004 while the singer's live performance - which includes a gorgeous bluesy rendering of Patsy Cline's "Walkin' After Midnight" - exudes a compelling magnetism".
