  • Description

    A cafe in Paris, a cocktail lounge in Palm Springs, a beachside bar in Rio De Janeiro, a lokanta in Istanbul. Jill Barber's French repertoire is played around the world and has earned her a following that transcends language barriers. Her music has become the soundtrack to an experience.

    It is a surprising achievement for an anglophone artist who only began her affair with the French language in her late twenties, following a moment during the Montreal Jazz Festival, where she sang a few notes of French to an enraptured crowd. Inspired by their reaction, Jill enrolled herself in an immersive French school in the South of France, eventually emerging with her own recordings of the songs and poets that inspired her most: Piaf, Gainsbourg, Aznavour. The album "Chansons" was released in 2013 and has since become Jill's most globally successful record to date, having been streamed over 120 million times - with more than 35 million listens in the past year alone.

    A full decade later, Jill has reunited with Grammy Award-nominated producer Drew Jurecka and the musicians that accompanied her on "Chansons" to produce "ENCORE!", its long-awaited sequel.

    "ENCORE!" is a delightfully arranged and lushly orchestrated album, featuring all new interpretations of classic songs by Edith Piaf, Charles Trenet, Blossom Dearie, Django Reinhardt, Robert Charlebois, Josephine Baker, and Barbara.

    "For me, singing in French is an embodied, sensual experience... it's a new language in which to explore and express myself artistically- and be vulnerable."

    The French have a saying for a particularly pleasurable sensation that is so unique, it's difficult to put into words- when Jill Barber sings in French, there is a pleasing quality, a "Je ne sais quoi" that is hard to describe, but easy to enjoy. And now she's done it again - ENCORE!
