Debut album Worrisome Heart is a timeless and chic yet heartrending classic that is at times sparkling and upbeat and at others sultry and contemplative, but always painstakingly personal.
The album is an intoxicating mix of jazz, blues and folk, with Melody softly scatting and speaking Franglais, and features the stunning singles 'Quiet Fire', 'Goodnite' and the aching 'Some Lessons'.
Here Melody throws herself deeply into the lovelorn songs that deal with romance and loss and perfectly distil the emotions of overcoming adversity and constantly battling a life in pain, caused by her debilitating road accident.
Melody Gardot says: "The songs on Worrisome Heart, they're all really speaking about where I am now and what I've gone through and so this record, for me, has some very serious and some very close-to-home subject matters."
