Madeleine Peyroux is a jazz singer who was born in 1974 in Athens, Georgia (USA), and raised in New York City and Paris. She is noted for her vocal style, which is highly reminiscent of Billie Holiday. Madeleine also has similiar qualities of Ella Fitzgerald. Like Holiday, Peyroux was marketed as a jazz singer, when what she seems to do best is sing blues music. Though Peyroux may remind some listeners of Holiday, there are differences, and she has her own sense of phrasing and interpretation.

Dreamland Lyrics
Madeleine Peyroux
Dreamin'
Makin' my way
Dreamin'
Won't let me stay in your arms
In your warm
In your love
Sleepin'
Away the day
Hopin'
That we two could stay
All alone
On our own revelries
Let's make a pact for our lives
And our homelands
Built on the bricks that we bathed
In my dreamland
Home sweet dreamland
Always a dreamland
For the two of us,
Together,
We'll stay
Let's build a homeland together in the sand
We have forever right here at hand
In dreamland
Home sweet dreamland
Always a dreamland
For the two of us,
Together,
We'll stay
