- On her last visit to the KNKX studios, singer and songwriter Madeleine Peyroux was debuting music from her then-upcoming album Anthem in a duet with pianist Andy Ezrin. On this return visit, Ms. Peyroux accompanied herself on guitar and brought in longtime friend Steve Cardenas on guitar for her recent single "On My Own," as well as an old favorite and a brand new original song.
Talking with KNKX's Abe Beeson, Peyroux recalled her teen years busking on the streets of Paris. She loves the City of Lights to this day, and her mother lives there still. Her passion for music comes directly from the artists she encountered there, "because I met street musicians, and I was allowed to become one," Peyroux told us. Paris celebrates "being an artist. People also don't have the same disdain for being a poor... in fact, being a poor artist is better. You're more respected in some ways."
That said, Peyroux does prefer a nice setting with good sound. "Radio stations are the top for that," she told us, appreciative of our KNKX studio session atmosphere.
We also talked about the emotion packed into her music, and how difficult it can be to "go through the emotional roller coaster" of a show. "That's a real skill...it doesn't mean I have to sing the song exactly the same way, but the emotional content of the song is the most important thing."
Peyroux also treated our studio audience to a brand new song she wrote, based on a story about Bob Dylan and Irish folk singer Tom Clancy. Misremembering the story where Clancy gave Dylan the advice "no meanness, no envy, no fear." Peyroux took that further and started building a list of her "rules of life" and wrote her new song based on that list.
"We can choose to change the rules," she sang, asking listeners to avoid meanness, judgement, envy, fear and shame. "No Meanness" carries a powerful message and it's a beautiful song you can imagine Bob Dylan would be proud to call his own.
Asked if another new album was lined up to include this new song, Peyroux asked for our patience. Don't expect another record in 2020. So, we're waiting eagerly, and basking in the fantastic Friday afternoon feelings this unique artist gave to us.

We saw Madeleine on Sunday, kicking off her Fall 2021 tour. She was fabulous. So comfortable and present, and that voice!! Some singers will sing you a lovely song; sometimes a singer will inhabit a song; but it's rarer still when a singer invites you into a song and shows you around as though it's her beautiful home. Song. After. Song. Just an incredible talent.
Madeleine Peyroux has been one of my favorite jazz singers for a while now. Her voice is so soft, absolutely lovely.
Smiling ear to ear. She's so great. It's rare that I have so much actual "fun" listening to someone. I can be impressed with talent and appreciate the fuck out of it, but actually smiling and having fun hearing/watching someone sing. Kinda special.
great playing, subtle guitars conversation to support MADELEINE's beautiful voice and incredible natural flowing singin'
Magnifique!
Beautiful 💚
Oh that was so nice on my train journey. I love her voice even more than before.
Beautiful. I'm going to watch the Blue Room DVD tonight. I almost got everything you made. Keep going Maddy. Blessings, K. Gabriel
Saw her in "Jazz in Marciac" festival (France) in 2007.
hey Madi and Steve!
Sounds awesome!
Come see us in Florida.
Hey guys. Awesome music! Awesome singing! I love Madeleine Peyroux. Her singing voice reminds me of that of the late Billie Holiday. I'm sure there are other singers who influenced her singing and music. Billie Holiday is what came to my mind. Keep up the good work! :)
Siiii, she has a very simmilar voice to Billie's
@@flaviarebottaro3801 She does indeed.
She seems to be getting some fun out of life. :)
9:22 Steve solo !!
Ezrin? Related to Bob Ezrin?
Ms Peyroux ?
That's not an uke
her voice is even more beautiful than before, but please lose weight. I can't see you like that, I was in love with you ...
People change Enzo, love her for who she is, a beautiful person and singer made in the image of God.
That's very rude. She's got more beauty in her little finger than most people.
She's put some weight on boy!!
Really?! Jerky thing to say.
How is that relevant?
