Ilene Martinez – PLUME (English review)

by Frankie Pfieffer (editor in chief – Paris-Move)

Ilene Martinez left France to return to the States, and her departure brings a touch of melancholy that this new album reinforces even more. During the Covid lockdowns, she wrote and composed quite a few songs, always with just guitar and voice. A musical interlude outside of time, outside of that strange period of enforced confinement. To write, compose, play, and make the songs live and bleed, to offer an ode to resilience and hope that resonated with artists and musicians during the pandemic.

Album “Plume” first review in France on “JAZZASEIZEHEUR”
The singer ILENE MARTINEZ is releasing a new CD, ‘Plume’, on October 1st, with music that draws as much from folk as from jazz, in the vein of Joni Mitchell or Rickie Lee Jones. After a careful listen to this recording, which you can find on all platforms, I can assure you that the lady has quite a sample of talents, which are revealed throughout the album’s tracks.

The three tracks I prefer are:

Saint-Mars

Going Bananas

Prowling

I hope we will have the pleasure of seeing her on tour in France soon.
