Pull down your shades and light some candles. A simple, yet poignant
blend of jazz and folk is headed your way. At twenty-two, singer-songwriter
Melody Gardot has a hauntingly beautiful voice that can melt event the
hardest of hearts. Drenched in a sublime vapour of mellow blues, eclectic
folk and above all jazz, Worrisome Heart is a ten-track collection of
original songs co-produced by Melody Gardot and Grammy Award winning
producer Glenn Barratt. With a superb narrative, nuanced phrasing and
skillfully constructed arrangements, this is a rare and unique album.
Gardot's vocals capture a range of emotions with a maturity and subtlety
unusual in someone of her age. Echoes of Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald
belie her jazz heritage, whilst her lyrics communicate a wise, determined
and occasionally lighthearted take on life.
Backed by the some of the finest musicians on the American jazz scene,
Melody has already drawn rave reviews across the USA, and she is now
set to take the UK by storm. Please welcome the next, and brightest,
jazz star of the twenty first century.
