"Songbook" is a collection of instrumental and/or vocal songs that reflect the full range of colours in Margaux Vranken's compositional work.
This album is the result of several collaborations with artists whose work Margaux admires. Long-time musical companions Fil Caporali (Brazil, bass), Daniel Jonkers (Netherlands, drums), Tom Bourgeois (France, saxophone) and Lior Tzemach (Israel, guitar) joined the 'Songbook' project quite naturally, bringing their own musicality and personality to it. Aneta Nayan (Poland, vocals), with whom Margaux has worked regularly for almost 10 years, wrote almost all the lyrics for this project.
As usual, Margaux has invited a number of singers to lend their voices to her compositions. On this opus, we discover Stacy Claire (France, vocals) ("Goodbye, "Songbook"), as well as Aneta Nayan (Poland, vocals) ("A Light Within"). "Songbook" is in the same vein as the album "Purpose": a collection of moods, emotions and musical surprises, all with finesse and sophistication.
"Songbook" is the third collaboration between Belgian label Igloo Records and pianist/composer Margaux Vranken.
