Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

My One And Only Thrill follows on from Gardot's debut album, Worrisome Heart--a record that established the singer-songwriter as a serious (and seriously global) talent. Fans will be pleased to hear that her seductive mélange of subdued jazz, introspective blues and insouciant pop is continued on this second outing. Mercurial double bass, whispered hi hats and melodic piano and sax flow mellifluously through tracks such as the tranquil “On The Rain”, the torch song “Baby I'm A Fool” and the swinging “Who Will Comfort Me?” Of special note is Gardot’s weightless, samba-fied version of Harold Arlen's “Somewhere Over The Rainbow” and the Blue Note-esque “Les Etoiles”. If you love Sinatra, Holiday, Jobim and Fitzgerald, you’ll find it hard not to dig Gardot. --Danny McKenna


CD Description

My One And Only Thrill is an intensely creative milestone, transcending genre distinctions of jazz and blues to offer a haunting personal musical statement that will appeal to all music-lovers. As with her acclaimed live shows, she captures and holds her audience in the palm of her hand. These eleven songs, covering a wide range of emotions are all her own except for an irresistible, Brazilian take on Somewhere Over The Rainbow. It would take a heart of stone to remain unmoved by the poignant title track "My One And Only Thrill".

5.0 out of 5 stars As Good As Good Gets, 20 Mar 2009
By The Wolf (uk) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
OK, let's get this straight. Right here, right now. No messing.

This is one of the best albums you will be likely to hear this year.
(.....or next year, or in the coming decade, come to that).

'My One and Only Thrill' is the real deal.

Universal/Verve have thrown a whole lot of moolah at this production and
Ms Gardot hasn't wasted a cent. Gold begets gold here in every way.

As if this brave young woman's voice were not enough, Mr Klein's
loving and masterful production, Mr Prendergast's exquisite musical
direction and Mr Mendoza's phenomenal string arrangements raise
the twelve songs in this collection to heights rarely achievable in any
composer/performer's career.

The voice. Oh my, my, what a voice we have on show here!

Warm, dark, expressive, playful. An utterly gorgeous instrument.

The writing is steadfastly and consistently inspired. Many of these songs
could have been written at any time during the past half-century but
never for a moment are they anachronistic or derivative.
They burst into our world fresh and fully formed, crammed with subtle
and elusive musical ideas.

The gentle gospel soul of 'Who Will Comfort Me' and the sublime slow
blues of 'Your Heart Is As Black As Night' display a completely assured
grasp of both genres.

'Our Love Is Easy' is a blissful threnody, brimful of whistful passion.

'My One and Only Thrill' is a fragile masterwork whose heartrending melody
and haunting orchestration could not fail to bring hope and affirmation
to anyone who has ever had even the smallest experience of true love.

The quirky lilting latin rhythm of 'Les Etoiles', with its' delightful
vocal extemporisations, is a thing of pure joy.

So too Ms Gardot's idiosyncratic take on 'Somewhere Over The Rainbow'
which successfully shines a bright new light on an old warhorse.

For one who stumbled upon her accidently this album is a revelation.

I dare you, too, not to be bewitched.

Essential.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must-have (that will surely become a classic?), 18 Mar 2009
By 6th.replicant (London, UK) - See all my reviews
Compared to Melody Gardot's fine live performances, were you disappointed by her 1st album - a potentially great voice accompanying derivative join-the-dots jazz/blues; all very gratifying & competent but it never quite hit the spot, did it?

Well, be prepared to be very pleasantly surprised by MG's 2nd album, My One And Only Thrill - a very gifted talent seems to have blossomed.

Her vocal-style is still 'cool jazz diva', but her voice now has greater authority, charm & emotion (but never sounds contrived), with diction & phrasing that compares with the very best.

There's also some great playing (includes MG on guitar & piano) & very skillful arranging, which effortlessly & elegantly adds drama & accent to MG's vocals. Don't forget, she also writes her own material - Somewhere Over The Rainbow, aside. (Nicely recorded/mixed etc, too.)

Initially tried to play this CD as background music while working at my computer. Hopeless! Repeatedly had to stop work to listen to the music.

Exquisite, & also rather cool. Love it!

5.0 out of 5 stars A rare talent, 17 Mar 2009
By DLD Woods (Hampshire, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Melody's music is something special - her voice, her style, her wonderful melodies and lyrics, and the understated genius of her songs combine to make music that you can happily listen to forever.

Her previous album was excellent, but this one is outstanding, every track a gem. I cannot recommend it highly enough.
