Currency of Man from singer-songwriter Melody Gardot is an intensely creative milestone, transcending musical distinctions of jazz, blues and R&B to offer a stirring social and musical statement. Gardot once again joins forces with Grammy-winning producer Larry Klein, long associated with Joni Mitchell. A striking musical partnership, their previous collaboration, 2009’s My One and Only Thrill, sold over a million-and-a-half copies and yielded songs that have become modern classics. Currency of Man marks a substantial leap forward as Gardot takes her gift for songwriting in a a completely different direction from her preceding album, the critically acclaimed The Absence. This “artist’s cut” deluxe edition includes five bonus tracks.

“We have a slamming horn section and these cinematic and somewhat existential arrangements. It’s a body of work where Larry and I discover an electric side of the songs, something I’ve never done before. It’s all an exploration, but it feels good to have something new and even a bit strange.” –Melody Gardot
