Search - Melanie De Biasio :: No Deal

Melanie De Biasio is already an acclaimed artist in her home country of Belgium and in the neighbouring Francophone nation to the south. Initially heralded as a new voice in jazz, albeit jazz 'd'autres univers', other-worldly, so to speak, her
first album 'A Stomach Is Burning' was closer to the smoky,
smouldering sound you dream of stumbling upon in a jazz cellar. Preferably in Paris or New York in, let s say, 1959.
'No Deal', her sophomore album, appears almost monochromatically minimalist at first, A simple cover shot. Melanie
has cut her hair. Miles Davis 'A Kind Of Blue'; typography. Seven songs, through which her own voice drifts gracefully,
at times disappearing altogether. Like a tintype photograph, this record needs time to develop, for the details to become clear, as if by magic.
