Madeleine Peyroux 'Anthem' | Live Studio Session

Some artists hit you with a soaring voice or a technical prowess. But Madeleine Peyroux approaches her music with a sublime sense of heartbreak and healing that feels more therapeutic than entertainment. She’s affected audiences that way for over 22 years with a wizened vocal sensibility reminiscent of Tom Waits, Leonard Cohn and Billie Holiday. Her performance in our studios proved an intimate affair with an almost reverent audience. She was accompanied by Pianist Andy Ezrin and treated us to several songs from her upcoming album which was spawned in the aftermath of the 2016 US elections.
