Acclaimed jazz singer-songwriter Madeleine Peyroux is one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary jazz. Renowned for her soulful interpretations of jazz standards, heartfelt original compositions, and a sultry vocal style that seamlessly blends jazz, blues, folk, and pop, she crafts a sound that is both timeless and uniquely her own.

In this episode, Peyroux presents tracks from her latest work, Let’s Walk. The album features original compositions spanning from introspective confessions to politically charged reflections, and from playful whimsy to heartfelt yearning. As a fervently civic-minded artist, Peyroux views Let’s Walk as an ongoing dialogue with her audience and the broader world. “This music is a form of conversation,” she explains. “It’s about connection, community. I firmly believe in the power of gathering people together to listen to music and exchange thoughts. Music has always been my avenue for building community.”
