In 2 years and as many albums, Melody Gardot rose from anonymity to jazz diva status. His talents as a composer and song are so special that it can get away with anything today. But the beautiful Philadelphia seems to play glamor background map, if one trusts his pose on the cover of her third album, with its barely veiled nudity of an unfortunate cloth. The content is in unison a series of songs susurées, barely whispered a voice as sensual and disturbing the rustle of a silk dress. The beginning of The Absence bathed in a Brazilian atmosphere. Some dramatic tension moves from Impossible love, culminating Goodbye piece on which the singer strength his voice like the Shouters New Orleans. Then return to Brazil with beautiful lemanjá.
