Our Take

Legrand (Reimagined) brings together a smorgasbord of talent to pay tribute to the legendary French composer Michel Legrand. The album is a rollercoaster of emotions, taking the listener on a journey through Legrand's iconic compositions reimagined by some of the brightest stars in the music industry.

From the dreamy, soulful vocals of Norah Jones on "What Are You Doing the Rest of Your Life?" to the funky, jazz-infused rendition of "The Windmills of Your Mind" by Esperanza Spalding, each track on this album is a unique interpretation of Legrand's timeless classics.

One standout moment on the album is the hauntingly beautiful orchestral arrangement of "I Will Wait for You" by the talented Icelandic composer Ólafur Arnalds. The combination of lush strings and delicate piano creates a mesmerising atmosphere that transports the listener to a place of pure emotion.

Overall, Legrand (Reimagined) is a delightful tribute to one of the greatest composers of our time. It showcases the versatility and creativity of each artist involved, while staying true to the essence of Legrand's original compositions. So sit back, relax, and let the music take you on a journey through the magical world of Michel Legrand.
