Vanessa Daou - Joe Sent Me
Electronica, smooth jazz, drum-and-bass, poet, chanteuse, painter. Vanessa Daou is one artist who thrives on not being pigeonholed. The New Yorker returns with the self-produced Joe Sent Me, her first album since 2001′s Make You Love on which she steps forth as the sultriest person at a beat cafe.
Continuing to morph her artistic approach with minimalism and spoken word, Joe Sent Me is a comeback for Daou that ought to be celebrated.” Windy City Times
“Vanessa Daou’s combination of Jazz and Pop make an exhilarating mix.” Time Magazine
JOE SENT ME is a pared down and refined synthesis of the various styles Daou has explored throughout her storied career – slow-burning smoky jazz, hazy Delta Blues, atmospheric electronic pop, sultry soul, melancholic neo-folk and stirring poetic meditations – fitting neatly alongside similar output from groundbreaking artists like GOLDFRAPP, ESTHERO, FEIST, NORAH JONES, MASSIVE ATTACK, THE BLUE NILE, TALK TALK, JOSE GONZALEZ, EVERYTHING BUT THE GIRL, MARTINA TOPLEY-BIRD, and SIA.
