Zaz

From 'Allaboutjazz':
SonyMusic Independent Network (SIN) is proud to announce that they will be releasing Zaz, the US debut and self-titled debut studio record from the chart topping diamond and platinum selling French pop/gypsy jazz singer. Established as an accomplished star in her native France since the release of the record last summer, Zaz is ready to bring her accomplished vocals and hooky, and often playful, songwriting and her combination of jazz manouche and chanson Française to the US.
...
With a passion for song, Zaz is truly a musical Renaissance woman. On the record, she assimilates a wide range of influences with unfailing flair, moving from jazz to blues to pop
...
All Music Guide's Jason Birchmeier raved, “The self-titled album debut of Zaz is one of the more exciting French revelations of 2010, boasting a refreshingly unique gypsy jazz style as well as plenty of contemporary pop appeal. She's a talented jazz vocalist, for sure, and her resemblance to Edith Piaf is striking

From JazzReview interview:

Jazzreview: What is it about jazz that makes you particularly enjoy performing it?

ZAZ: Jazz provides a lot of mixing, a coming together of musical styles. It can be on the borders of soul, world, pop or blues and this why it is beautiful.
