Free Music Notes for Bare Bones
Free Music Review: sweet and sultry vocals--with Madeleine on her way into the world of songwriting (four and one-half stars)
Hit: 5 Stars
Madeleine Peyroux's brand new CD entitled "Bare Bones" displays her evolution as an artist. For the first time Madeleine doesn't just sing on an album; she also wrote a lot of the material for this CD. Some will say that a singer who wants to write their own songs takes a mighty big risk, but actually Madeleine succeeds rather well at both singing and songwriting. Sure, Madeleine could have pushed the boundaries a bit more; but she is becoming an even better artist who can now write their own songs. Although Madeleine got help writing these songs from people including Walter Becker and Joe Henry, she did write "I Must Be Saved" independently. She even plays the acoustic guitar on this album! I'm impressed; Madeleine can do just about anything she wants to do. She completely throws herself into each ballad on this album; and you can tell it's true with just one listen. The quality of the sound is excellent and that artwork is very nicely done.
The album starts with Madeleine singing "Instead;" she delivers this with panache and she never sounded better! "Instead" is not just a strong start for the album; it's a highlight of the album as well. That music fits in perfectly with Madeleine's vocals and it never steals the show away from her--great! "Instead" just couldn't have been written any better. "Bare Bones," the title track for this album, has a fantastic musical arrangement; and Madeleine sings this faultlessly. I really like "Bare Bones;" and listen also for "River of Tears." "River of Tears" has a laid-back flavor to it even though those lyrics are not exactly the happiest, to be sure. Madeleine wears her heart on her sleeve when she sings "River of Tears" and it all holds its own very well.
"You Can't Do Me" has some very interesting key modulations and Madeleine performs this without a superfluous note. "You Can't Do Me" features Madeleine squarely in the spotlight and that's definitely all right by me! Madeleine sings of a woman who won't be hurt by the same man twice. "Love And Treachery" sports a very pretty melody matched up with some set of lyrics; and "Our Lady Of Pigalle" is about a woman of the night working in the Pigalle section of Paris. The guitar work in "Our Lady Of Pigalle" enhances the natural beauty of this ballad and I could never tire of hearing Madeleine Peyroux sing "Our Lady Of Pigalle." What an awesome singer Madeleine truly is!
"To Love You All Over Again" has an incredible laid-back melody that charms me with its beauty; and Madeleine's ability to deliver this so well makes this yet another major highlight of this CD. Madeleine's excellent diction bolsters her performance all the more and I really like "To Love You All Over Again." Songs like this one really showcase Madeleine's exceptional gift to perform and write alongside the very best of them.
"I Must Be Saved" has some great percussion and Madeleine sings this with all her heart and soul; the music fits in perfectly with her singing, too. The CD even ends strong with Madeleine Peyroux performing "Somethin' Grand." "Somethin' Grand" impresses me and the percussion and guitar are used to great advantage. The keyboard work is very strong and Madeleine leaves you wanting ELEVEN SONGS MORE!
Madeleine Peyroux obviously scores a goal with her brand new release entitled Bare Bones; and she's well on her way to become an even greater force to be reckoned with. We're very lucky that she chose to share her talents with us. This CD is a "must-have" for Madeleine's fans; and people just getting to know her talents may want this album as a starter CD. In addition, people who like beautiful songs influenced by jazzy arrangements may well want this album, too.
Bare Bones Poster
The third album in four years from song interpreter extraordinaire Madeleine Peyroux, Bare Bones is both an extension of the currents of 2004's Careless Love and 2006's Half the Perfect World and a bold step into previously unexplored psychological terrain. Produced, like its two predecessors, by Larry Klein, this fluid and enthralling new work is Peyroux's most personal yet, hardly surprising considering she had a hand in writing each of the 11 songs, marking the fulfillment of a lifelong dream.Jazz Music CDs
