So sings Madeleine Peyroux on the upbeat title track of her captivating ninth album\, \;Let&rsquo\;s Walk\, \;the acclaimed singer-songwriter&rsquo\;s most assured\, courageous work to date. Powered by the distinctive\, honeyed croon that delivered her from the Paris streets to concert halls\, these ten unabashedly personal songs\, all co-written by the versatile Peyroux\, deftly interweave jazz\, folk\, and chamber pop\, with themes ranging from the confessional to the political\, from whimsy to yearning. In every note\, Peyroux digs deep\, rendering this exquisite work with the disarming grace and gravitas of an artist in peak form.
\n\n\;
\n\nFor the ardently civic-minded Peyroux\, \;Let&rsquo\;s Walk \;continues the scintillating conversation with her audience &ndash\; and with the world at large. &ldquo\;This music is part of a dialogue\,&rdquo\; she says. &ldquo\;That&rsquo\;s what art is. It&rsquo\;s engagement\, community. I believe more than anything in getting together with people and listening to music and conversing. Music is the only way I&rsquo\;ve ever built community.&rdquo\;
\n\n\;
\n\nPeyroux&rsquo\;s community of loyal fans are in for a treat. Thanks to serendipitous delay\, her collaborators Herington and Scheiner\, and the very perspective she shares in &ldquo\;Take Care\,&rdquo\; the spare\, slow burning \;Let&rsquo\;s Walk \;material will be set free in venues around the world\, effortlessly dovetailing with Peyroux&rsquo\;s beloved versions of Leonard Cohen\, Bob Dylan\, and Tom Waits (to name a few) classics. As she learned in her busking years\, a great song can wield powerful magic\, and inspire the best in any type of crowd. With \;Let&rsquo\;s Walk\, Madeleine Peyroux takes full ownership of that magic.
