With a rich foundation in contemporary vocal jazz, two-time Juno Award winner and six-time nominee Emilie-Claire Barlow has solidified her influence in the music industry, having self-produced an impressive 13 albums to date.
Her seventh album – The Very Thought of You, is one of her most personal works, inviting listeners into an intimate world as she masterfully interprets timeless melodies from the American Songbook. Several tracks are elevated by lush string arrangements and exquisite orchestrations, showcasing Emilie-Claire’s signature artistry. In the tradition of legends like Frank Sinatra and Tony Bennett, she includes often-overlooked verses, adding depth and authenticity to each piece.
This album received critical acclaim and was nominated for the 2008 Juno Award for Vocal Jazz Album of the Year.
