Free Music Review: when Melody sings I'm in paradise...
Hit: 5 Stars
Worrisome Heart by Melody Gardot showcases Melody's extraordinary ability to sing write, and play piano with a great deal of sensitivity and she doesn't let us down a single time on this album. Melody has an abundance of talent and the thrilling part is that she's still really just getting started. The quality of the sound on this album is excellent; and I love that artwork.
The album opens with the title track, a jazzy, bluesy number that has Melody singing with all her heart and soul. Melody's voice is absolutely beautiful to hear; she sounds as clear as a bell and her vocal range is very good. The musical arrangement makes good use of the piano, horn, guitar and percussion. I love it! When Melody sings that she "(needs) a hand with (her) worrisome heart," I want to reach out to her as if I could touch her right there and sooth her pain--she makes this all THAT good. What a chanteuse! In addition, "All That I Need Is Love" has Melody handling complex tempo and key changes like the pro she is--and that guitar work is very easy on the ear. "All That I Need Is Love" explores the feelings of a woman who wants a man to truly love her instead of having a superficial relationship; this ballad strikes me with its beauty--wow!
"Gone" makes good use of the string instruments and Melody sings this somewhat melancholy song to perfection--and beyond. Melody never skips a beat and she doesn't let go of a superfluous note, either! I'm very impressed; this gal deserves a spotlight, to say the least. "Sweet Memory" is another fine number; Melody's singing is front and center but the music that plays complements her vocals faultlessly. "Sweet Memory" is another very sophisticated number; Melody sings of a woman who remembers a past love even though she knows that she'll want another love soon.
"Some Lessons" has Melody pouring her heart and soul into this rather bluesy ballad; and it creates quite an emotional effect. "Quiet Fire" has a terrific musical arrangement and when Melody Gardot performs on "Quiet Fire" you can really see her star beginning to shine very brightly! Melody is not going away anytime soon.
"One Day" again features the wonderful talents of Melody Gardot; she delivers this like a champ and "One Day" is easily another major highlight of this album. Will the person Melody sings of become her partner? Maybe so--we can certainly hope! "Love Me Like A River Does" again has a fine piano arrangement while Melody sings this number with great feeling. "Goodnite" is a tender ballad that charms me with its natural beauty. Melody Gardot sounds terrific on "Goodnite" and I could never tire of hearing her sing this tune. The CD also ends well with Melody performing "Twilight." "Twilight' has a somewhat exotic musical arrangement that is rather pretty and it leaves me wanting more.
Melody Gardot is clearly going places fast. This album, along with her latest CD, points to truly legendary stardom. I highly recommend this album for fans of Melody Gardot; and people who enjoy jazzy numbers with some blues mixed in will not be disappointed.
Worrisome Heart Poster
". . . in a place where Billie Holiday meets Tom Waits . . . has moments that recall pieces of Nina Simone, early Rickie Lee Jones, and even the sophistication of Cole Porter. " - Business Week
Although there are elements of jazz, blues and folk in her music, it is simultaneously all of those things and none of them. Her engaging songs and sultry controlled vocals possess a timeless quality that places them in the tradition of the great female vocalists on Verve, whose work have also not been confined to any one genre or style
