World Tour Begins Fall 2021

Happy New Year and welcome to my homepage! While the Careless Love Forever world tour continues in 2023, a new record is in preparation, compiled entirely of original compositions. One of these songs in particular is being featured in our live concerts and has garnered considerable attention. A bootleg recording will therefore be featured here, lyrics below, until the final version is ready for release. (’How I Wish’ ©2022 Jon Herington & Madeleine Peyroux) I am grateful for you and our collective journey through this mad world.
— Madeleine Peyroux

How I wish I could bring Tenderness, leavening,
And to bare the fact Of each heinous act To which I’ve been a part
Oh my black American heart

What I’d give and unlearn Should some peace and concern
Fill this empty dread Along the wire we tread Between fear and disgrace
Oh my red American face

Would my life be in vain If in strife - or some small pain -
I gave up my right To this greed and spite Then, what might begin?
Oh my white American skin

Endlessly journeying Yet to hear freedom ring
Must we all be tossed On our nation’s cross For Truth to be whole?
Oh my lost American soul No More

My Story

“Let us advance our mortal bodies up
Where hearts and minds will go
Let’s walk, let’s roll.”

So sings Madeleine Peyroux on the upbeat title track of her captivating ninth album, Let’s Walk, the acclaimed singer-songwriter’s most assured, courageous work to date. Powered by the distinctive, honeyed croon that delivered her from the Paris streets to concert halls, these ten unabashedly personal songs, all co-written by the versatile Peyroux, deftly interweave jazz, folk, and chamber pop, with themes ranging from the confessional to the political, from whimsy to yearning. In every note, Peyroux digs deep, rendering this exquisite work with the disarming grace and gravitas of an artist in peak form.
