Careless Love

1 rating: 5.0
Broadway & Vocalists, Jazz, and Pop album by Madeleine Peyroux

When Madeleine Peyroux's debut,Dreamland, was released in 1996, its success threw her for a loop. She's taken eight years to create this follow-up, and, at age 30, she brings a confidence and resilience to this dozen-song set. She's able to move seamlessly … see full wiki

This is beautiful music

Madeleine Peyroux's voice conveys so many emotions on this album. She hypnotizes the listener with her beautiful voice. The piano playing by Larry Goldings is a perfect compliment to her voice on all these tracks. I know that most of these songs were originally performed by other singers, but Madeleine has the ability with her incredible voice to make these songs her own. One of my favorite tracks is the song Dance Me To the End of Love. I felt like I was floating on air while listening to this song. It has a very romantic quality. I think this song also has a deeper meaning that we should savor our time on earth because life is short. Another standout track on this album is the song Don't Wait Too Long. This song is performed in a lively swing style. It is an original composition written by Peyroux and songwriter Jesse Harris. Listeners can relate to the lyrics of this song because of how true it is to life. The message of this song is that sometimes people have to hit rock bottom to realize what is important in life. You're Going To Make Lonesome When You Go is a song that just puts me in a great mood. I love the smoothness in Madelenie's voice and the poetic images of nature on this track. French is such a sensual sounding language. Peyroux displays the beauty of it on the song J'ai Deux Amours. This song was performed by a singer named Josephine Baker and sung to soldiers during World War II to inspire them to come home safely.

Careless Love is an album that has increased my appreciation for classic jazz music. The title track is a song with timeless lyrics about how someone we love can drive us crazy. This song made me feel happy and sad at the same time. Not too many songs can do that for me. Weary Blues From Waiting is a song that perfectly conveys the loneliness one feels when waiting for a loved one to return to them. I really felt a sense of yearning in Madelenie's voice on this track. It is so good. I really enjoyed this CD. I just hope that I don't have to wait so long to hear from this talented singer again.
