专辑介绍

新专辑《蓝色房间》是一张翻唱专辑，一听之下，怀旧气息便扑面而来，旋律似曾相识却又不能肯定。无论从节奏还是演唱风格上都有全新突破，全部以爵士风味改编，佩露鲜明的个人演唱风格更是令人耳目一新，在原曲基础上加入别样情韵，质朴却与众不同。专辑曲目来自一众乐坛巨擘，包括美国第一位灵歌艺人雷•查尔斯（Ray Charles）【“Modern Sounds In Coutry & Western Music（1962）”专辑】、美国电影配乐大师兰迪•纽曼（Randy Newman）、英年早逝的美国著名摇滚明星巴迪•霍利（Buddy Holly）以及加拿大吟游诗人莱纳德•科恩(Leonard Cohen)等。

《蓝色房间》的录制构想来自格莱美获奖制作人拉里•克莱恩（Larry Klein）。他是传奇爵士音乐人赫比•汉考克（Herbie Hancock）、特蕾西•查普曼（Tracy Chapman ）等一线爵士艺人的金牌搭档。此次为佩露操刀，融合爵士、乡村与蓝调元素于一身。

而之所以将新专辑命名为《蓝色房间》，佩露解释说，自己在演唱这些作品时脑海中不断浮现的就是这样一个情境，挥之不去。

Celebrated and Award-winning jazz singer, songwriter, and guitarist, Madeleine Peyroux gears up to release her inspired new album, THE BLUE ROOM, March 5, 2013 on Decca. The album is a return to what she is known best for reinterpreting songs with an emotion and depth that cant help but touch the soul.

THE BLUE ROOM features Madeleine reinterpreting songs from Ray Charles seminal album MODERN SOUNDS IN COUNTRY & WESTERN MUSIC, as well as others from legendary artists such as Randy Newman and Leonard Cohen, whose legacies are herein enveloped into a similar melting pot of the variety of American popular song.

Released in the summer of 1962, MODERN SOUNDS was a daring album for Charles as it broke the mold of what was expected from him, and in turn, truly represented artistic freedom something that clearly inspires Peyrouxs album THE BLUE ROOM.

Conceived and produced by the legendary GRAMMY-Award winner Larry Klein (Joni Mitchell, Tracy Chapman, Herbie Hancock), he says, Rays cultural landmark of an album has always been a part of me. I have loved this album ever since I can remember and I knew that Madeleine would be the perfect voice to bring it to the forefront again.

Reexamining this album is an ideal project for the multi-talented Madeleine Peyroux, because she comes from that same rare place as Ray Charles the junction of jazz, country and blues. The Brooklyn and Paris-bred artist, with a New Orleans pedigree, Peyrouxs soulfully piercing voice and eclectic musical mix makes for magnificent story-telling. And that is exactly what each of the songs on THE BLUE ROOM does tell a story but from her own perspective. Infusing her own vision and reinterpretation of the songs with modern sensibility, Peyroux brings elements of jazz, country and blues into each song, while evoking a depth of emotion and sound of such legends as Billie Holiday, Patsy Cline, Edith Piaf, and Bob Dylan.

Featuring sparse arrangements, each of the 11 tracks on the album sets a tone and mood that respects where the originals came from, but offers a modern reinterpretation of each song. Truly an inspired record, THE BLUE ROOM features five other tracks that Madeleine felt could accompany Charles seminal album.
