Madeleine Peyroux, born on April 19, 1974, learned her trade the hard way: as a teenager singing on the streets of Paris. She worked through vintage jazz and blues standards, accompanying herself on guitar and sometimes ukulele, and her voice has that smoky, unhurried ache that makes an old song sound like it was written this morning.
Careless Love, released in 2004, is where the wider world caught up with her. It sold half a million copies, and its slow-burning take on "Dance Me to the End of Love" found its way onto the countdowns. There's a French chanson lilt in her phrasing, too, fitting for someone who got her start on Paris pavements.
Along the way she has recorded for a long list of labels, Atlantic, Verve, Rounder, Decca, EmArcy and Impulse! among them, and picked up recognition at the BBC Jazz Awards.
