The Profile

American jazz and blues singer-songwriter from Athens, Georgia, noted for the albums Dreamland (1996) and Careless Love (2004).

Born in Athens, Georgia; spent time living in Paris and busking in the Latin Quarter. Dreamland (1996) was her early release; Careless Love (2004) contains mostly covers with one original written by Peyroux. Frequently compared to Billie Holiday for tone and phrasing. Plays guitar.

Two DeBaser reviews praise Madeleine Peyroux's velvety, Billie Holiday–invoking voice and her jazz/blues arrangements. Dreamland (1996) is described as timeless; Careless Love (2004) as coherent and fresh. Reviewers note her Paris busking past and use of covers alongside one original.
