This album from 25-year-old singer/songwriter Melody Gardot is an intensely creative milestone, transcending genre distinctions of jazz and blues to offer a haunting personal musical statement that will appeal to all music-lovers.
Amazing though it is, the story of how Melody Gardot overcame the effects of a near-fatal accident to become one of the vocal sensations of 2009 is not the most extraordinary thing about the 25-year-old Philadelphia singer/songwriter. It is simply that here is a voice in a million; one that touches the soul.
'My One and Only Thrill' is an intensely creative milestone, transcending genre distinctions of jazz and blues to offer a haunting personal musical statement that will appeal to all music-lovers.
These eleven songs, covering a wide range of emotions, are all her own except for an irresistible, Brazilian take on "Somewhere Over the Rainbow". It would take a heart of stone to remain unmoved by the poignant title track "My One and Only Thrill". And when the album is finished (as Irving Berlin wrote truly) the song is over, but the Melody lingers on...
