Background

Speaking of how the album first came to be made, in November 2008 Gardot told noted United Kingdom jazz/soul writer Pete Lewis of 'Blues & Soul' that: "It was created independently of a record company. It was made privately. So my only intention, or my only GOAL, was to make a record that at the end of the day I was happy with. And the way that the instrumentation was decided on was based on what I heard in my head, and what I thought would FEEL the best. So I guess having it released is kinda like having somebody publish your diary in a way!"
