Had lots of songs I'd already heard and liked, and enjoyed the ones I hadn't heard her do before. Would recommend this one.

Format:Audio CD
I bought this CD based on the reviews here and was not disappointed. She has a voice reminiscent of Billie Holiday, but she doesn't sound like she's trying to copy her.
Great Jazz/Blues sound that is different from many of today's artists.

It's amazing that someone so young has such an interesting voice

Listening to this album it is hard to believe this isn't one of the great black female Jazz artists from the 30's or 40's. Madeleine Peyroux has a voice very reminiscent of Billie Holliday yet uniquely her own. She delivers her songs with a style and maturity way beyond her years; she was a mere 22 years old when she recorded this. As well as covering some well-known numbers Ms Peyroux performs some of her own songs proving she is as talented a songwriter as she is a singer. There isn't a track on this album that isn't flawlessly performed but particularly outstanding are 'La Vie En Rose' and 'A Prayer'.
This is an album that you want to listen to with the lights low and curled up in a comfy chair.... bliss.

HDCD sounds great on regular CD/DVD players
Dreamland is recorded in HDCD format. It can nonetheless be played with any, standard, CD/DVD player, however it sounds better on a machine that can interpret HDCD code. Read more

Good but she has improved much since this one....
I recently saw Madeleine in NYC and was just mesmerized- I thought her voice was fantastic and her style of performing was simple but bewitching. Read more

Buy this album, then GO HEAR HER LIVE!
Unfortunately, I did it the other way around--heard her gorgeous, heartbreaking singing at a little Red Cross benefit in October 2001 and then picked up the record, which is... Read more

Madeleine Peyroux
Absolutely loved it. I must have played it 25 times in three weeks. I am wondering where I can find more of her singing. This album was produced in '96; that is six years ago. Read more
