When you hear Madeleine‘s music you get the feeling that this sound comes from a jazz vocalist back in the ’50s and not from a 36 year old jazz vocalist. Madeleine Peyroux comes from Georgia and due to her hippie parents that were “eccentric educators” she decided to follow a career in music.
Madeleine Peyroux has been compared with great jazz artists and this is not a surprise since she has started singing at the age of fifteen and has evolved to a wonderful jazz artist. She has already released 5 successful albums, among them the album ‘Careless Love’ (2004) which was a major breakthrough, reaching Gold status in the US, selling over two million copies worldwide and landing on numerous top-of-the-year lists.
Bare Bones was her latest album which received both critical and public acclaim. It was considered a lyrically based album and this was quite an achievement since the songs were written and co-written by Madeleine. According to her, the album is an attempt to resume her philosophy of life and she started working on it after the release of Half the Perfect World.
Standing on the rooftop is her sixth album which will be released on June 14th. She has already released two songs from her new album and as it seems the album is going to be the new breakthrough.
