In this respect, it continued the direction set by Peyroux's debut, Dreamland (Atlantic, 1996). Since those early albums, Peyroux's trajectory has evolved. The jazz sensibility, and love of chanson ...

Some singers would find that a millstone around their neck, but Peyroux continues to wear it well. It is surprising that, two decades since Dreamland, this is only her seventh solo album release. ...
