- Madeleine Peyroux: A Musical Stylist Who May Eclipse Nora Jones' Success

Review by Lapeste - 10/03/2004

- 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.
