With her dusky, lyrical style and affinity for reinterpreting classic jazz, blues, and folk standards, vocalist Madeleine Peyroux is a highly acclaimed, internationally recognized artist. Emerging in her teens as a street-busking performer in Paris' Latin Quarter in the 1980s, Peyroux drew favorable comparisons to legendary jazz singer Billie Holiday, and eventually caught the attention of the record industry. Her debut album, 1996's Dreamland , featured a bevy of noted jazz artists and drew accolades for her distinctive take on blues and jazz standards.

In 2016, Peyroux celebrated 20 years as a recording artist with the release of her seventh studio album, Secular Hymns. One of her most eclectic albums to date, it featured a mix of soul, jazz, blues, and dub sounds, including covers of songs by Townes Van Zandt, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Willie Dixon, Linton Kwesi Johnson, and others. She then reunited with longtime producer Klein for 2018's Anthem. Named after the Leonard Cohen song covered on the album, Anthem also featured Peyroux's songwriting collaborations with Klein, guitarist and primary lyricist David Baerwald, organist Patrick Warren, and drummer Brian MacLeod.
