About sophie borgeaud

"Rigorous, pure,insistent and sensual"
Patrick Szersnovicz / Le Monde de la Musique "I’m really enjoying the delectable new album of the luminous, very personal Sophie Borgeaud. : The Best of (expired link) had already applauded this journalist , singer and actress at Blues Passion in Cognac in 2008. I had adored her performance at the time,and only very recently received her melodious, discographic feats, so am writing this modest contribution a bit late. I can already say that these ten attractive titles have become a bedside addiction. The ecstasy, the joy of the ear, the ease and pleasure of the note- the right note- literally gush out of each number tracks. Ten titles with five wonderfully melodious compositions, signed by Miss Borgeaud and her guitarist arranger, Jean Marc Pernon. In a duo, at the guitar or piano, this multi-instrumentalist envelops the suave, luxurious voice of this ex-Parisian in a subtle musical cocoon. From dawn to darkness one never tires of hearing these little jewels, like the new light put on standards by Willie Dixon, Joe Williams, BB King and Albert King, thanks to the moving,earthy voice that brings them back to life. Of course we are far from the juke joints of the Mississippi, and closer to the intimate, polished sounds of jazz,
