I have just discovered this artist,she is the epitome of "Smooth".
She has a lovely voice, the sound quality is excellent and the arrangements are seamless.
At this price it is an absolute bargain, buy it, you will not be disappointed

I'm not usually a fan of this kind of music, but the soft jazzy sounds combined with Melody's mellow voice made me simply sit back and relax with a glass of wine! Great background music for dinner parties, or to add ambience to an evening in with a loved one...without wanting to push this album into a pile of cliches, it does - for me - precisely what jazz should do. It's not inspiring but nor is it mundane. Just lovely.
Good album, good singer April 25, 2008

This is a very mellow late night album. Melody Gardot has a beautiful voice that suits the jazz/folk genre perfectly. The songs she has composed are intelligent and well written. Recommended.
Cool jazz with a modern twist April 24, 2008

Melody Gardot wrote the songs on this CD but they have a timeless classuic quality that constantly reminds you of the works of Nat King Cole, Sinatra and others of that era. Yet listen to the lyrics and you soon realise that they are totally contemporary and original. The arrangements are smooth yet full of hooks and surprises. This is a shorter CD than most nowadays but I can't really fault any of the tracks. This is the sort of album Norah Jones might have made if she had swung towards jazz rather than country for her second album. Recording quality is excellent. A great album from a greatly under publicised artist.

I'll be honest, this album is definitely a mood thing; It's not the sort of music you'd put on at a house party, it's more the kind of music you'd expect to hear in a hotel's front lobby.
Worrisome Heart by Melody Gardot is a gentle album full of tickled ivory and swinging slow rhythms, there aren't any standout tracks that deserve particular recognition, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing, the whole album blends into one seamless audio experience.
I'm trying hard not to call the album bland, I don't want to particularly as its clear Gardot has a good voice, although its equally clear she has yet to master it. The atmosphere is well orchestrated and the instruments do the job nicely, it just seems like the area that suffered most was the creative conception; the songs sound the same!!!
If I had to recommend this to anybody, as harsh as it sounds, it would be for people searching bargain bins for a background tape to put on to a dinner party, because at the end of the day it doesn't have that hold to keep people interested in it long enough...Sorry Melody!
