I first heard this album sitting in my local music shop with two male friends and my intial reaction was one of blushes...the power of the truley sensual voice of Peyreux was sufficient for me to have to leave the shop,so beautiful her tone,and classical the lyrics I thought my friends would only think id suggested listening to this as a means of seduction.
She posseses a quality known to real jazz/blues singers to find somewhere deep inside her womans body to sing from, to melt your petty worries away and feel a part of a world where love, sex and sensuality are what lifes about. The french are known for their ability to transcend into the realms of romanticism and this is where I want to be, barefoot in paris listening to my loves ambitions, pains and woes sung like honey by a dark mysterious woman in a smoke filled bar.I will always listen to this album and its one for stolen moments of enjoyment and appreciation of a truley beautiful lyricist.
This may be a short review but as a new artist to my collection I know little in the way of facts about Peyroux I simply wanted to share my enthusiasm for her sound.
