| | Customer Reviews: My One and Only Thrill (11 March 2010)Was not familiar with this arist, Melody Gardot until I saw her story on CBS Sunday Morning. Nice listening CD.  Melody, what have you done???!!?? (09 March 2010)Melody Gardot's first CD (Worrisome heart) was a phenomenal achievement in restraint and intimacy. When I heard she was in the studio recording a full-length CD, I couldn't wait to get my hands on it and give it a listen. When the wait was over, I hurriedly picked up a copy of her "My one and only thrill" CD, slipped it into my CD player, and... was appalled. Gone is the subtlety, only to be replaced by the most outlandishly cheezy strings I have heard since I stopped listening to my grandmother's music. Strings, strings, more strings, and then just to be sure you have been sufficiently smothered in strings, well, more strings. It's as if some string composer wanted to use Melody as a vehicle for promoting his/her orchestrations, and forcefully took control of the recording sessions. I haven't looked at who produced this latest recording, but I will (just to add to my "avoid" list). Melody, Melody, what have you done? Where have you lost that minimalist approach, those intimate moments, the under-produced and under-played beauty of your first recording? I haven't given up on you, and I am hopeful that your third recording will ditch the cheezy strings and return to the intimate night club ambiance that you so well embraced before. Thrilled with our choice (05 March 2010)This CD is absolutely wonderful - could not be happier with our selection. It was in brand new condition and arrived right on time. We listen to it often and enjoy it more each time. Love bluezy, jazz you'll love this one (01 March 2010)If you are already a Dianna Krol, Alicia Keys or Nora Jones fan, you will love Melody Gaudet. It's no wonder she is platinum in France and will be here too very soon. bit of a downer (01 March 2010)Melody's story is truly inspiring and we should all be grateful her misfortune led to her discovering her gift, but, I, as probably and over-cheery American just found this CD a little bit too much of a downer for me to enjoy or listen to repeatedly. She does have a beautiful voice though and her jazz stylings are superb. |
