With a rich foundation in contemporary vocal jazz, two-time Juno Award winner and six-time nominee Emilie-Claire Barlow has solidified her influence in the music industry, having self-produced an impressive 13 albums to date.
Her seventh album – The Very Thought of You, is one of her most personal works, inviting listeners into an intimate world as she masterfully interprets timeless melodies from the American Songbook. Several tracks are elevated by lush string arrangements and exquisite orchestrations, showcasing Emilie-Claire's signature artistry.
In the tradition of legends like Frank Sinatra and Tony Bennett, she includes often-overlooked verses, adding depth and authenticity to each piece.
This album received critical acclaim and was nominated for the 2008 Juno Award for Vocal Jazz Album of the Year.
With her sixth longplayer, the Canadian chanteuse finally made her breakthrough: The album "The Very Thought Of You", first released in 2007, was nominated for a Juno Award in the category "Vocal Jazz Album of the Year" the following year and won the National Jazz Awards.
On "The Very Thought Of You", Emilie-Claire Barlow's unique voice interprets standards, many of which come from the American Songbook, in a refreshingly sympathetic and easy-going way. Barlow takes the liberty of recording verses that are often ignored – in the tradition of Frank Sinatra and Tony Bennett. She is supported by top-class musicians and wonderful string arrangements. The vinyl reissue (180 grams, 33 rpm), lovingly mastered by René Laflamme, offers the finest audiophile listening pleasure!
René Laflamme, one of the industry's most sought-after sound engineers, uses high-quality Nagra equipment for his outstanding remastering. The label 2xHD, which he runs together with André Perry, the founder of the famous "Le Studio" in Québec, enjoys an excellent reputation and has rightly earned an exceptional status in the high-end world. Laflamme's unique skills in sound processing are appreciated by many important players in the industry: For example, he represents and advises sound pioneers such as Nagra or Kronos Audio.
