A lot of people across the world think that they know Cyrille Aimée: the matchless interpreter of song, steeped in the jazz tradition she learned from the gypsy masters in her native France. It’s a story that has been told many times across Cyrille’s career as it took her on a magic carpet ride from France to New York, and then to New Orleans, pursuing her musical vision through the works of some of the world’s great composers of popular song.

Now she’s back with a new album and a new story to tell. À Fleur de Peau presents Cyrille in her own words, with her own original compositions presented in her own arrangements, developed in close collaboration with New York multi-instrumentalist & producer Jake Sherman - just the two of them, working up the ideas as they flowed from deep within Cyrille’s heart, making music that is the most original and personal of her career. Drawing on her Dominican heritage with its cargo of African dance rhythms and Spanish folksongs, embracing the directness and simplicity of contemporary pop forms, singing tales straight from her own life, this is Cyrille as you have never heard her before.
