Acclaimed singer-songwriters 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.

Lets Walk was a long time coming, but well worth the wait. Following Peyrouxs 2018 album, Anthem, the enforced isolation of the global pandemic made any real-time community gathering impossible. From a creative standpoint, however, Covid offered Peyroux a silver lining: she seized the opportunity to hunker down with longtime collaborator, multi-instrumentalist Jon Herington (Steely Dan, Lucy Kaplansky). The pair reflected on the seismic era at hand and wrote and re-wrote in what Peyroux calls a shadow of reckoning. When multi-Emmy-and-Grammy-winning producer Elliott Scheiner (Fleetwood Mac, The Eagles) heard a sampling of the new material, including Lets Walk, he mandated no covers for the album. The longtime studio veteran knew the time was ripe to highlight Peyrouxs incisive, often topical lyrics meshed with Heringtons ear for melody and arrangements.

When the road beckons this spring, Peyrouxs community of loyal fans is in for a singular treat. Thanks to serendipitous delay, her collaborators Herington and Scheiner, the spare, slow burning Lets Walk material will be set free in venues around the world, effortlessly dovetailing with Peyrouxs 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 Lets Walk, Madeleine Peyroux takes full ownership of that magic.
