Madeleine Peyroux

Let us advance our mortal bodies up
Where hearts and minds will go
Let's walk, let's roll."

So sings Madeleine Peyroux on the upbeat title track of her captivating ninth album, Let's Walk, the acclaimed singer-songwriter's most assured, courageous work to date. Powered by the distinctive, honeyed croon that delivered her from the Paris streets to concert halls, these ten unabashedly personal songs, all co-written by the versatile Peyroux, deftly interweave jazz, folk, and chamber pop, with themes ranging from the confessional to the political, from whimsy to yearning. In every note, Peyroux digs deep, rendering this exquisite work with the disarming grace and gravitas of an artist in peak form.

For the ardently civic-minded Peyroux, Let's Walk continues the scintillating conversation with her audience - and with the world at large. "This music is part of a dialogue," she says. "That's what art is. It's engagement, community. I believe more than anything in getting together with people and listening to music and conversing. Music is the only way I've ever built community.

In celebration of Craft Recordings’ deluxe reissue of her best-selling 2004 album, Careless Love this August, acclaimed jazz singer Madeleine Peyroux is scheduled to return to the road on an extensive Careless Love Forever world tour. 

The tour represents the first time that Peyroux will play the much-loved album front-to-back.
