Half the Perfect World

Well i definatley like it. I don't think Madeleine is the kind of artist that needs to re-invent her self in anyway at all, she doesn't need to create anything too far from what she does best - which is simple, soft warm and comforting songs. I know for a fact if she decided to change her singing style too much then, for me anyway, she wouldn't have the same appeal. I love her hearing her voice regardless of whatever shes singing about, the music is delightful her voice is beautiful. I've become comfortable with her music and even used to it; when you sing along with it it's just lovely! Carry on what you're doing Maddie, 'cause you're a star!

Yes - Half the Perfect World is off the charts.  right up to the point where "La Javanaise" rolls out.  Through no fault of mine, I am strictly an English speaker, although I can muddle through some street Spanish.  I got no idea what the song is about, although it does sound nice musically.

This is one of the most beautiful and well-crafted albums I have ever lheard.  One song slips seamlessly into the next.  I can't stop listening to it. 

The theme is the loss of love -- a breakup.  Perhaps we have someone to thank for this outburst of musical creativity.  Some heartless bastard who hurt Madeleine?  Who knows.  If that is the case, she has certainly turned the tables on him with this knockout album.
