... aber es soll nicht schon wieder um abstruse Vorschläge der Nationalökonomen gehen, sondern um die großartige Melody Gardot, die gerade ein neues Album veröffentlich hat, das schwer empfohlen sei und in das hier reingehört werden kann:

'Currency of Man' appears as a kind of mutant collage, a soundtrack to the times in the free spirit of Rauschenberg. A watercolor portrait made by hand marks the coverture of the disc and the pages within. Teaming up again with Grammy Award winning producer Larry Klein, the album possesses a cinematic quality that tells the story to the soundtrack of existence for various characters.



Gardot explains, "I wanted an album that flowed like a dream from beginning to end. We wanted to weave in sounds of the world around the songs, to recall the places where they were born, to really paint the scene. These are stories about people who know hard times, about people who are struggling to overcome them, and that is something that resonates deep in my psyche. It's impossible to ignore. To me, the songs are questioning and also defining what it means to be alive. What is our worth, and how do we define it? Is it down to money? Is it down to legacy? Is it down to our own personal achievements on a daily basis? For this I mark the disc currency of man. This album is about our worth in this world, and how everyone no matter their status, or origins or color of their skin holds a purpose."

Das mit der cinematic quality ist unbedingt zu bestätigen, der Rauschenberg-Eastmancolour-Sound, sollte es sowas geben, ist faszinierend. Reinhören!
