…And Billy, in her new guise, has even kept up with the times.
I first found out about MP after being charmed by the wild Amy Winehouse. I saw an online mention that if you think AW can sing, try MP. Or, if you think AW has a desperate, edgy Billy quality, try MP.
So I tried MP.
Wow!
What a singer. She does new stuff and standards to beat the band.
She has an old-time, classic feel—yet also a sense of being totally up to date. She catches the timeless.
She’s French.
But many of her songs are in English.
And you can understand the (fine) lyrics.
Any and all of her three CDs are splendid.
It’s interesting to see that two of them are on the rural/folk label Rounder.
