July 22, 2024 – Marie-Claire Giraud, a versatile soprano, jazz singer, and songwriter, proudly announces the release of her enchanting new jazz single, “Caravan ‘ by Duke Ellington on July 24. This captivating rendition was recorded at Plaid Dog Recordings, a renowned studio owned by Mike Davidson, known for empowering independent artists to produce top-quality music.
Plaid Dog Recordings stands as a beacon for independent musicians, providing state-of-the-art facilities and superb musicianship to create projects that elevate artists to the next level. Marie-Claire Giraud’s “Caravan” is a testament to this mission, blending her unique operatic vocals with rich jazz instrumentation. The single features the Ude, African drums, trumpet, drums, and upright bass, bringing a fresh and innovative approach to a beloved jazz standard.
Marie-Claire Giraud’s musical journey is as diverse and dynamic as her sound. Born on the island of Dominica in the Caribbean and raised in The Bronx, NYC, she embarked on her operatic training in Rome, Italy. Her experiences and cultural heritage infuse her music with a depth and richness that resonates with audiences worldwide.
Reflecting on the inspiration behind “Caravan,” Marie-Claire shares, “Night and stars that shine above so bright… Night isn’t really dark in the Sahara. The sky is indigo blue illuminated by stars whose iridescence dances and bounces against the shimmering sands of the desert. In the distance, you see a caravan approaching, and my soft operatic vocals dip and fall like the wind, accompanied by the Ude, African drums, trumpet, drums, and upright bass.”
In addition to releasing “Caravan,” Marie-Claire is launching a crowdfunding campaign with Plaid Dog Recordings to record her new studio EP. This EP will further showcase her talent and creativity, continuing to blend her operatic training with her passion for jazz and musical theater.
The pandemic provided Marie-Claire the luxury of time to reflect and overcome obstacles blocking her creative path. With her creativity freed, she wrote her first musical and discovered her true voice as a soprano. Marie-Claire has many exciting projects in the works, including screenplays, novels, additional EPs, musicals, and more.
Marie-Claire Giraud invites fans and supporters to join her on this exciting journey by supporting her crowdfunding campaign and experiencing the magic of “Caravan.”
The song will be available via all the streaming platforms on July 24.
