* Sung by a woman from a man’s point of view, “Blue Alert” (written by Leonard Cohen and Anjani Thomas) is psychologically complex and erotically charged. This intertwining of genders “adds a depth to the song that wouldn’t be there otherwise,” Madeleine says.
* The blending of Madeleine’s and k.d. lang’s distinctive voices on “River” puts an entirely new spin on the Joni Mitchell classic.
* And Madeleine’s vocal on Chaplin’s “Smile” is reflected by Till Bronner’s muted trumpet, forming the musical equivalent of a shadow thrown by a streetlamp.
* Highlighting two of the album’s songs, the Serge Gainsbourg standard “La Javanaise” and the original composition “Once in a While,” are poignant string quartet arrangements courtesy of Mark Orton.
