Info for The Very Thought Of You (Remastered)

Emilie-Claire Barlow's Juno nominated 2007 release "The Very Thought of You" is now available in High Resolution audio format at 96kKz 24 bit.

While exploring the Empress Music Vaults the original 96kHz 24 bit mixes were discovered. In 2007 this was not a format available to the wider public and so a High Resolution Master has never been released.

Now this beautiful recording and performance has been carefully restored and remastered, to bring it up to the latest standards of high resolution audio, with state of art music restoration software.

Audiophiles will certainly appreciate the detail and nuance revealed by this new master.

This is Ms. Barlow in top form -- interpreting classic American Songbook with her inventive take on these cherished standards.

A two time Juno Award winner and 6 time nominee, Barlow has released 12 self-produced albums on her own label, Empress Music Group.

Her performing career spans over 24 years in venues ranging from Toronto’s storied Montreal Bistro, Tokyo’s Cotton Club and more recently concerts with symphony orchestras at Toronto’s Massey Hall and Montreal’s Maison Symphonique. She has performed at the Montreal jazz Festival on 7 occasions including a 2015 performance on the Main Stage with 50,000 people attending.

Ms. Barlow has lead bands featuring the finest musician’s in Canada. Her work as a band leader and producer has been recognized with a Juno Award nomination for “Producer of Year” for her recording “Clear Day” — notable for being only the 2nd Jazz recording nominated in this category. Ms. Barlow is also one of a very few women to be honoured as “Producer of the Year”.

Fluent in English and French, Ms. Barlow also sings in Portuguese and Spanish. Her all francophone recording “Seule ce soir” won a Juno and Felix Award in 2013 representing an unprecedented achievement in Canadian bilingualism.

“The Juno award-winning Emilie-Claire Barlow is now clearly established as one of Canada’s very best jazz vocalists. She has also developed into an ace arranger, and both talents coalesce to stunning effect on Clear Day, the most ambitious offering yet in a prolific discography (it's her 11th album). Her interpretive gifts and pure vocals are displayed in fresh versions of tunes from a wide range of artists (Joni Mitchell, Paul Simon and Van Morrison to Coldplay, David Bowie and Queen, and Pat Metheny). All the songs were chosen to help tell the chronological story of a recent emotionally turbulent period in her life. Barlow and co-producer Steve Webster recruited Amsterdam's world-renowned 70- piece Metropole Orkest and conductor Jules Buckley to bring some of these songs a gloriously rich orchestral sound.“ (Kerry Doole Toronto Star)
