She may be called “the next big thing in jazz”, but Emilie Claire Barlow is no newcomer to the music business or the Arden stage. Born into a musical family, Barlow was raised with an appreciation for the swinging arrangements, fast-paced scat singing and bossa nova grooves of jazz. With a string of hits, critical acclaim and a certain je ne sais quoi, Barlow maintains her youthful sweetness while maturing into a polished jazz force. With pitch-perfect vocal chops, this Canadian jazz-jewel glides effortlessly over melodies of standards and original tunes with a charm that’s at once romantic, timeless, playful and lush.
