Melody Gardot: My One and Only Thrill

The 23-year old Philadelphia singer/songwriter Melody Gardot's debut album Worrisome Heart introduced songs of quiet. wistful poetry with sophisticated after-hours arrangements. Yet the follow-up. My One And Only Thrill. marks a substantial leap forward. The album is an intensely creative milestone. transcending genre distinctions of jazz and blues to offer a haunting personal musical statement that will appeal to all music-lovers. As with her acclaimed live shows she captures and holds her audience in the palm of her hand. These eleven songs. covering a wide range of emotions. are all her own except for her irresistible. Brazilian take on "Somewhere Over the Rainbow." This LP is pressed on 180 gram vinyl and is out 3 weeks before the CD.
