Speaking about her life as an artist she says, "music for me has always been a much more exact communication than mere words because it allows me to explore a dimension of the soul that I cannot express in ordinary language. Creating music gives me the courage to realize emotions that I might not be able to draw out otherwise, and I can tap into worlds that can transform me and contribute to my evolution as a human being". The seductive musical universe of the singer and pianist Clara Ponty unfolds in this enchanting pop jazz album and displays her unique style of writing. Produced by Stuart Bruce and Clara, these eleven gems feature refined arrangements filled with charm and memorable melodies. |
