New Album

And you don't think she has done that in this album?

I think the one thing you can say about Madeleine is that she is distinctive. As soon as I hear her voice it stands out. Granted there there is a smoothness to her albums - and the new tracks have that same smoothness. To me it is like an elixir. I have not been able to listen to the album in its entirety so difficult to comment fully BUT at the end of the day I LOVE what I hear.

As for innovation - I think that Madeleine is distinctly her own.

And on the idea of Brazillian music Half the Perfect World had a bossanova beat to it and personally I think that it is better than the Anjani Thomas version.    Finally have you not heard the track Madeleine recorded with Martinho da Vila - Madelena do Jucu. I stumbled on it the other day on ITUNES ... it is very cute. I love it.

What you talking about focbarboza ... are you sure that you have listened to the album ... yes this is distinctively Madeleine but songs like River of Tears / Lady of Pigalle / I Must Be Saved all sound great. How can you say that these are the same as I'm Alright and Don't Wait Too Long other co-written songs. Maybe you can say the general vibe is the same - perhaps that is true - but the tempo and the tenor is different.

I am so looking forward to being able to wallow in her new tunes and really soak them in - rather than grasping at the small tastes you get from the EPK.
