Sunset In The Blue by Melody Gardot.
Melody Gardot's "Sunset In The Blue" arrives as a Decca Records release, a double LP pressed in Germany and issued under the Universal Music banner in 2020. It is the kind of record that rewards the collector who appreciates presentation as much as performance, a package built to be lived with, unfolded, and returned to across the seasons.
Spread across four sides, the album moves with an unhurried grace. Side A opens with "If You Love Me" before slipping into the light-footed charm of "C'est Magnifique" and the tender "There Where He Lives In Me." Side B gathers "Love Song," "You Won't Forget Me," and the title track "Sunset In The Blue," a sequence that lingers in the low glow the album's name suggests.
The second disc opens up new territory. Side C carries a Brazilian warmth through "Um Beijo" and "Ninguém, Ninguém" before "From Paris With Love" closes the side, while Side D reaches toward the reverent with "Ave Maria," the timeless "Moon River," and a closing reading of "I Fall In Love Too Easily" that leaves the listener suspended in quiet.
Part of the pleasure here lies in the physical object. The inner sleeves are printed with lyrics, so the words can be followed alongside the music, a small invitation to sit with each song rather than let it pass. It is the sort of detail that turns an evening listen into something more deliberate.
There is more still. An extra inner sleeve carries a poem about light titled "Pictures of Light" by Pat Steir, tucked in alongside a lithograph of the front cover. This pairing of visual art and verse extends the mood of the album beyond the grooves, giving the release a considered, gallery-like sensibility that suits its themes of light and dusk.
For anyone drawn to vocal jazz with atmosphere and craft, this Decca pressing offers both the music and the artifact, a collectible that feels complete from the first note of "If You Love Me" to the last fade of "I Fall In Love Too Easily." A fine addition to any shelf at
