Info for A Queen of Hearts
French-American singer Rosemary Standley is the vocalist in the Parisian alt-folk band Moriarty, whose recent fourth release Epitaph was acclaimed in the Guardian as “classy, eclectic Americana”. She also sings in Birds On A Wire, a duo with the Brazilian musician Dom La Nena. This new album however presents a different side of Rosemary.
A Queen of Hearts pays tribute to the glamour and to the melancholy elegance of the likes of Marlene Dietrich, Marilyn Monroe and Billie Holiday. Underpinned by pianist Sylvain Griotto’s agile accompaniment, Rosemary Standley’s exquisite voice adorns a top quality songbook which skips from classical music to jazz and French chanson, taking in songs by Lennon & McCartney, Kurt Weill, Gershwin, Bashung and Nina Simone.
