Melody Gardot's new album is an extremely charming continuation of her lightning career. Production and orchestral arrangements by Grammy Award winners Larry Klein and Vince Mendoza give the right depth to the honeyed voice of this young woman with a tragic story. Many of their self-written songs sound like classics from American songbook history the first time you hear them. They never lack the necessary pinch of jazz or blues, but remain elegant, light-footed and sexy. Many journalists are already conjuring up the next Norah Jones. Is this comparison a blessing or a curse? Be that as it may, Melody Gardot is definitely a seductive diva with a lot of talent.
