After selling out the Parisian jazz clubs on Rue des Lombards by word of mouth alone, Gabi Hartmann has stepped into the spotlight in recent years by opening for famous artists such as Jamie Cullum and Melody Gardot. She has now released her first album, which should consolidate her reputation as a young artist as it combines fresh inspiration with technical skill. Conceived in close collaboration with Jesse Harris (a New York guitarist, songwriter and producer renowned for his work with Norah Jones, Melody Gardot and Madeleine Peyroux), this signature album gives Gabi Hartmann the opportunity to lay the foundations of her own artistic path and make every facet of it shimmer by exploring highly refined nuances.Gabi is a singer, composer, lyricist and arranger who can effortlessly switch from English to French (there’s even a Portuguese interlude!). Here, she offers a tempting glimpse into a halftone world that’s cottony by design, taking inspiration from contemporary cool (post)jazz (‘Buzzing Bee’) as well as sophisticated and timeless songs (‘Une Errante sur la terre’, ‘Mille Rivages’). She regularly flirts with a subtly deterritorialised Americana (‘I’ll Tell You Something, Baby’) and ‘exotic’ colours and rhythms (as heard on the magnificent cover of the West Indian classic ‘Maladie d’amour’). With her vibrant voice, warm, bright tone and slightly nonchalant phrasing, the French singer dives into subtle orchestrations that combine light choirs, laid-back rhythms, and the distant echoes of retro clarinets, ethnic flutes (the Sudanese Gandhi Adam) and bluesy guitars (Julian Lage and Abdoulaye Kouyaté). Gabi takes the listener on a journey through dreamland with this release. – Stéphane Ollivier
