Melody Gardot fully embraces her jazz influences with 'Quiet Fire', a swinging, stylish late-night number with playful trumpets, acoustic guitar, Mellotron and jazz piano, accentuated by lovelorn, confrontational lyrics.
'Quiet Fire' is a subtle but passionate plea to a lover to step up and bring back the spark in the relationship, revealing a languishing, seductive side to Melody Gardot, who often draws on personal experiences to colour her lyrics.
Melody says,"My songs are based on life. You know, I think good writers write about what they know. So, without going into specifics, they all reflect things I've encountered in various ways."
