To celebrate its 15th anniversary, Decca Records reissue Melody Gardot’s critically acclaimed album, ‘Worrisome Heart’, on a beautiful pink colourway LP. The album is also available on CD format.
Released when she was just 22, ‘Worrisome Heart’ cemented the singer-songwriter as the next, and brightest, jazz star of the 21st Century. Drenched in a sublime vapour of mellow blues, eclectic folk and jazz, the album is a ten-track collection of original songs co-produced by Melody Gardot and Grammy Award winning producer Glenn Barratt. Backed by the some of the finest musicians on the American jazz scene, the album boasts a superb narrative, nuanced phrasing, skilfully constructed arrangements and above all, Melody’s hauntingly beautiful voice.
On this record, Gardot’s vocals capture a range of emotions with maturity and subtlety. Echoes of Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald belie her jazz heritage, whilst her lyrics communicate a wise, determined and occasionally light-hearted take on life.
