Description
Melody Gardot – My One And Only Thrill – Vinyl Record
Melody Gardot’s My One and Only Thrill, released in April 2009 on Verve and Universal Classics, marks her refined and deeply expressive follow‑up to Worrisome Heart. Produced by Larry Klein with lush string arrangements by Vince Mendoza, the album blends intimate vocal jazz, introspective blues, and subtle bossa nova influences. The inclusion of one French‑language track, “Les étoiles,” and a heartfelt cover of “Over the Rainbow” as a tribute to her grandmother, give it a personal resonance.
From the opening “Baby I’m a Fool” to the title track and the heartfelt “Who Will Comfort Me,” Gardot showcases a warm, husky vocal delivery, crafting songs that feel both elegant and emotionally charged. Critics praised the album’s sound and songwriting: AllMusic noted it “lives up to the promise of her debut” and the BBC called it “spellbinding” and affirming of her talent as both vocalist and composer.
Commercially, the album debuted at number 42 on the US Billboard 200 and secured high chart positions across Europe, including reaching number one on the German and Swedish jazz charts. It earned gold and platinum certifications in multiple countries and sold over 1.5 million copies worldwide.
The record’s craftsmanship also garnered industry recognition, receiving three Grammy nominations for the title track’s instrumental arrangement, overall engineering, and Larry Klein’s production. With its refined artistry, emotional depth, and elegant sonic palette, My One and Only Thrill stands as a defining statement in Gardot’s career, merging sophistication and vulnerability in a singular jazz‑pop expression.
