They cover it with loving-kindness tinged with a minimalist music and with a deep and incandescent chant. Their first album A Woman’s Journey reveals a graceful and unexpected reinterpretation of a humanist and rebellious repertoire from Nina Simone to Janis Joplin, Billie Holiday and Josephine Baker. Madeleine sings, Salomon sits at the piano. Madeleine & Salomon, a duo with a natural elegance. “Less is more” is their essence. Duo épique et libertaire, Madeleine & Salomon enlacent avec fougue le répertoire féministe états-unien et le recouvre d’un amour bienveillant teinté de musique minimale et d’un chant grave et incandescent. Leur 1er album A woman’s journey dévoile une relecture gracieuse et inattendue d’un répertoire humaniste et révolté, de Nina Simone à Janis Joplin, passant par Billie Holiday ou Josephine Baker. Madeleine chante. Salomon est au piano. Madeleine & Salomon, un duo à l’élégance naturelle qui fait du « less is more » son mot d’ordre. --------- “This project runs through a gamut of emotions like anger, sadness, joy, and optimism, throwing new angles onto familiar songs and exposing forgotten songs and songwriters to the world at large. This is a strong work of art.” **** – Jerome Wilson - ALL ABOUT JAZZ (USA) « Cet album nous fait vivre toute une gamme d’émotions telle que la colère, la tristesse, la joie et l’optimisme. Il aborde sous un nouvel angle des chansons qui nous sont familières et met en lumière des musiques et des compositeurs oubliés. C’est un album magnifique. » **** – Jerome Wilson - ALL ABOUT JAZZ (USA) Genre Indie-Jazz-Folk
