Katrine Madsen - Simple Life '2009

Tracks list

... undeniably her most ambitious record ... almost all original songs ... a
lush setting with the autumnal string arrangements of Swedish saxophonist Joakim
Milder, providing the perfect background for Madsens voice, which manages to be
seasoned and mellow and yet fresh as spring water. As a vocalist, Madsen is
simply in a class of her own with a distinct phrasing that spans the register
from a smoky, sensual whisper to a full-blown cry ... the excellent cast of
musicians bring out the best in the poetic words ... Madsen has created a record
for the ages.
- All About Jazz

Described as a Danish diva by All About Jazz, Katrine Madsen displays new,
touching aspects of her talent on 2009s Simple Life. Reaching this level has
been no simple process for Madsen, but rather a brave and investigative journey
as she developed her ability to express the contents of a song. The album
showcases Madsen as a mature vocalist, but it also features her serious and
somewhat melancholic songs. Her presence is everywhere in the music, yet she
shares generously of her interpretive skills and commitment. Simple Life is
additionally enhanced by Swedish saxophonist Joakim Milder’s playing and
his beautiful, sharp and precisely balanced and supportive string arrangements
weaving in and out.
