Currency Of Man

Description

4th studio album by the singer-songwriter-musician, an intense creative milestone that transcends any differentiation between musical genres - jazz, blues, or R&B. An exciting statement, both musical and social. Currency of Man makes a leap forward. With this album, Gardot takes her talents as a modern songwriter in a very different direction from that of her previous album, The Absence. Melody explains: "Every album is a journey, and in some ways this record is a leap into the unknown. After spending time in Los Angeles, I found that all these songs are about people I've met: people who were experiencing life on the margins. But this extraordinary voice, and this underlying attitude that breathes strength and grace, are undeniably those of Melody Gardot; they instantly recall that rare combination of natural talent and musical sophistication with which the singer captures her audience and holds them in the palm of her hand. She adds: We have brass like a slam session and these cinematic arrangements that are somewhat existential. It's a body of work where Larry and I discover an electric side to these songs, something I've never done before. It's a whole exploration but, how good it is to have something new, and even a little strange..! "LIMITED EDITION SPECIFICATIONS - 3 bonus tracks and 2 interludes
