Madeleine Peyroux
Once In A While

Rounder/UCJ

WE SAY

Half the Perfect World, the follow-up to Madeleine Peyroux's million-selling breakthrough album Careless Love, affirms her talents as one of the most gifted singers in the vocal jazz/adult-contemporary genres. As well as covering songs by artists Leonard Cohen, Tom Waits and Joni Mitchell, her strongest efforts on the album display her talents as a songwriter with languid, flawless bluesy numbers like this. JF London Gig: 13 Dec, Barbican Hall EC2
