More On This Album
Vanessa Daou is known internationally for her signature breathy vocal style. The multi-talented singer/songwriter, poet, multi-media artist and dancer has garnered praise for her poetic and introspective lyrics. On each of her albums, she has explored her musical influences & mixed them into her own unique hybrid brew of Jazz, Blues, Rock, Folk & Electronica. TIME Magazine writes: “Vanessa Daou’s combination of Jazz and Pop make an exhilarating mix. Built on piano, synthesizers and Daou’s mesmerizing, Billie Holiday-like vocals, the music conjures up the cool mood of an urban nightscape.”
Vanessa’s songs have been featured in advertising campaigns (for Bulgari and Zwack), appeared on numerous top-selling compilations including Dimitri From Paris: In The House Of Love, Danny Tenaglia Color Me Danny, Real Ibiza, Cafe del Mar and the chic Hotel Costes series, and have been featured in TV shows and films such as Dawson’s Creek, Fools Rush In, An American Werewolf in Paris. In 2004, her music was featured in the Samuel Goldwyn French film Lila Says (based on the bestselling 1996 novel Lila Dit Ca). Writer and Director Ziad Doueiri was heavily inspired by Vanessa’s music and prominently featured several songs throughout the seductive story of sexual awakening. Doueiri notes: “Vanessa’s music is very visual and inspiring, and most of the visuals of the film were inspired by her songs.”
