With a voice that hints at Bessie Smith and Billie Holiday, Madeleine, a former Paris street busker, is now a successful jazz-blues diva herself. Her last two albums sold more than two million copies. Madeleine’s latest is also her most personal to date, with songs of survival like “River of Tears” and the title track, about her alcoholic father, and her time spent as a child in a domestic violence shelter. But the beguiling vocalist also sings songs of hope, including “I Must Be Saved” and the Obama-inspired “Somethin’ Grand.”Reviews
