Melody Gardot, the intensely creative singer and songwriter returns to the limelight with her brand new album Currency Of Man; a record that transcends musical distinctions of jazz, blues and R&B to offer a stirring social and musical statement. Philadelphia’s Melody Gardot is more versatile than most. On her last album she explored world music; on Currency Of Man, she’s gone “conscious” and electric. Gardot is following in the footsteps of Erykah Badu, and when you’re a Grammy-winning easy-listening artist, it’s an admirable direction. She has mastered the art of capturing mood and emotion in her music, prompting The Times to state ‘Every decade or so an artist comes along who redefines the art of the possible’.

‘When you rouse yourself from Gardot’s dream, it can be hard to recall any individual song, but the reverie is beautiful.’ (**** The Telegraph)
