mikelz777 Posted March 6, 2009 Report Posted March 6, 2009 (edited) [Disclaimer: No, I'm not some label hack trying to dish up and sell the latest warmed-over turd.] I'm not much of a vocalist kind of guy but the right sound can turn my head. I had never heard of Melody Gardot before running across this video but I think she sounds like someone who is compelling enough to at least check out. I just ordered her first CD ("Worrisome Heart") and I'm looking forward to giving it a listen. She's got an interesting backstory. Check out her story and music on the video: http://wimp.com/musicalgirl/ Edited March 6, 2009 by mikelz777 Quote
jazzbo Posted March 6, 2009 Report Posted March 6, 2009 Yeah, she's cool. I bet her next few albums are going to be even better. I think she's growing. Quote
Bright Moments Posted March 6, 2009 Report Posted March 6, 2009 sounds more than a little like bonnie raitt Quote
ghost of miles Posted June 18, 2009 Report Posted June 18, 2009 on the new one--been playing it a lot so far this summer. Quote
AllenLowe Posted June 18, 2009 Report Posted June 18, 2009 "No, I'm not some label hack trying to dish up and sell the latest warmed-over turd" not that there's anything wrong with that - Quote
jazz1 Posted June 20, 2009 Report Posted June 20, 2009 "No, I'm not some label hack trying to dish up and sell the latest warmed-over turd" not that there's anything wrong with that - Got her latest cd, it sounds a little too pretty, sometimes she sounds a little like a very tame Amy Winehouse and on other tracks like Norah Jones. I would not buy it again! Quote
mjzee Posted June 20, 2009 Report Posted June 20, 2009 Maybe we should start a thread about vocalists who sound like Norah Jones. I just came across this one on Amazon: Diane Birch As the first reviewer notes, "Diane Birch is reminiscent of Norah Jones and Ella Fitzgerald in a way that works without trying too hard." Of course, that could just be her mother writing. Quote

jazzbo Posted June 20, 2009 Report Posted June 20, 2009 I thought the first one was pleasant, but . . . I'm probably going to unload it, doesn't seem to have staying power with me. I'll pass on this new one. Quote
NavSJ Posted July 4, 2009 Report Posted July 4, 2009 I thought the first one was pleasant, but . . . I'm probably going to unload it, doesn't seem to have staying power with me. I'll pass on this new one. I bought her two CDs (they were on sale on Amazon for like $8 each), nice purchase, decent arrangements, good tunes. I think she has more substance, bite and thickness in her voice than Norah Jones, whose voice is just plain ol' thin and brittle. Quote
jazzbo Posted July 4, 2009 Report Posted July 4, 2009 Well to each her own. I like Norah's voice, and think she's twice the artist Melody is. But neither would get a lot of listening in my system. I need more grit or something. Quote
