Clear Day is the 11th album by Canadian Jazz Vocalist Emilie-Claire Barlow. It features the Dutch Jazz and Pop Orchestra Metropole Orkest conducted by Jules Buckley. It won the Juno Award for Vocal Jazz Album of the Year in 2016.

Clear Day is a “mélange of folk and rock staples” with songs by “artists spanning all genres and time periods, from Brad Mehldau to Coldplay.” The album is a narrative with each song telling part of her personal story. Featuring favorites like On A Clear Day You Can See Forever (the title song), The 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin’ Groovy) and Sweet Thing.

“Each song represents my state of mind, a turning point, a crossroad. The important thing was that the song needed to convey that particular moment in time.” The album also features the 70-piece Metropole Orkest, expanded from the usual 52 piece line up.

The album was produced and arranged by Barlow and Bassist Steve Webster with orchestration by the duo as well as three orchestrations by Shelly Berger and two orchestrations by John Metcalfe, the arranger for Peter Gabriel’s New Blood Orchestra.

The Beat Goes On is Exclusively Available at NativeDSD in Stereo DSD 512, DSD 256 and DSD 128 thanks to our signature Higher Rates Program. It is the singer’s 2nd album on the 2xHD label at NativeDSD.Com following her earlier album Live In Tokyo.

Barlow says “I am excited to do something a little different on this album. Something that is a bit of a departure from my last few recordings.

In the past I gravitated toward songs of the 30’s and 40’s, inspired by the musical treasure trove of The American Songbook. In seeking out repertoire for a new project, I became fascinated by that vibrant decade of diversity, change and of course music – the 60’s!

After much inspiring and entertaining listening, I have simply chosen songs that hit me. Songs that I connect to in some way, melodies that would run around in my head on ‘repeat’. The idea here was to deconstruct these songs and rebuild them in my own style – perhaps in the form of a reharmonization, a bass line, or a different groove.”
