MAKE YOU LOVE [ Cat# DR009 ] available soon (Daou/EQ8R Music) Includes 16 page lyric booklet |
"Throughout the '90s, the husband/wife musical partnership of Peter & Vanessa Daou seamlessly merged elements of pop, jazz, and electronica to create some of the most intoxicating, exhilarating, and seductive soundscapes for dancefloors, lounges, and bedrooms. ... Last November, EMI Music France issued Vanessa Daou's Make You Love - easily the artist's most honest, pop-leaning, and (dare we say) best collection to date." allbusiness.com "On her fourth solo album, [Vanessa Daou] continues to follow the beat of her own drum, bucking the norm for her own artistic integrity. Drawing from electronic, pop, and jazz, Make You Love drips with romance, sensuality, and much love." Billboard |

DEAR JOHN COLTRANE [ Cat# DR008 ]
$19.99 (Oxygen Music Works, 1999) Includes 16 page lyric booklet |
"Part R&B, part spoken word, Vanessa's breathy but strong voice compliments her prose in this shimmering but lucid tribute to the famed jazz legend. ... closer to a Sade album than a dance one. ... an open letter to keep reading over and over until every comma and pause is savored and memorized." Mixer "Dear John Coltrane is a sensual ode and tribute to the great man as only Daou could do." VICE Magazine "Dear John Coltrane is one of the most soothing albums to come along recently. It's very relaxing due to its ambient sound which mixes guitars, saxophones, acoustic pianos, and keyboards. Vanessa's phantom-like voice ... sounds like an ancestral voice quietly calling you back to a time long past." Technique |

PLUTONIUM GLOW [ Cat# DR007 ]
$25.99 (Daou Music/Handprint Ent., 1997) Originally only available on the internet in conjunction with Benny Medina/Handprint Entertainment before it was released on Oxygen Music works in 1997. Cover artwork by Vanessa Daou. |
"Leave it to Vanessa Daou to turn the themes from a childrenÕs book into a sexual space traveling odyssey. On her 1998 slipped disc, Plutonium Glow, Vanessa Daou was inspired by de St. ExuperyÕs classic The Little Prince and used her breathy sensuality to reinterpret the well-loved story. Being the groundbreaking artist that she is, Vanessa was one of the first artists to sell merchandise through her Web site, where this spectacular was initially available. Also she beat Madonna and Kylie Minogue to the electronic break-through punch with this collection. Daou collaborated with French hunk Etienne Daho reworking ÒMake BelieveÓ on his album Corps et Arms, making her a sensation in France." Windy City Times "Vanessa Daou sounds even more dynamic in this setting. Vanessa Daou has a voice like a feather that literally floats off into the crisp night air..." Answers.com |

Vanessa Daou continues her poetic and musical explorations with a new album, JOE SENT ME. Inspired by the code words that were used to get into the Speakeasies of the Prohibition era, "Joe sent me", was one of the most common ones. "It was the perfect metaphor for my new album, saying something about the transmission of ideas through time, the secret ranges of the voice, fleeting nights of love and desire, the archiving of dreams, memory, and the imagination."
