Honey Honey Baby
A Soaring New Single Featuring Grammy-winning Guitarist Vernon Reid
Marie-Claire is a vocalist completely at home in the divergent realms of classical, jazz, and pop music. I'm fortunate to contribute to her updated paéon to 60's 'girl-group' Pop.
— VERNON REID, GRAMMY-WINNING GUITARIST & LIVING COLOUR
The upcoming album also features a song co-written by Marie-Claire and Pulitzer Prize-winning composer John Harbison, a testament to the extraordinary creative world she inhabits, where the boundaries between classical artistry and popular music dissolve entirely.
Marie-Claire has graced the stages of Carnegie Hall's Weill Recital Hall (twice), Joe's Pub at The Public Theater, and the United Nations General Assembly Hall (seven times). A beloved regular jazz soloist at Birdland and Dizzy's Jazz at Lincoln Center, she recently hosted her album listening party at the prestigious Perelman Performing Arts Center (PAC NYC).
Marie-Claire's awards include the Intercontinental Music Awards for Best Original Jazz Song ("Chasin' Rainbows") and Silver at the Amadeus International Classical Music Competition. Her voice has been heard everywhere from Carnegie Hall's Weill Recital Hall and the United Nations to Birdland, the French Consulate, Spotify Headquarters, Barclays Center (seven times), and 54 Below.
"Honey Honey Baby" arrives as a powerful expression of hard-won personal joy. During the pandemic lockdown, Marie-Claire embarked on a profound transformation, confronting childhood trauma with the help of a therapist, emerging with a clarity and freedom that unlocked her true voice. Long misclassified as a contralto and having developed dysphonia as a result, she has reclaimed her brilliant soprano under the tutelage of voice teachers Anthony Manoli and David L. Jones. The music world is now hearing her at her fullest.
"I have come through the fire and triumphed over insurmountable odds. This song is proof of that, it's pure joy, and it's time the world heard it."
— MARIE-CLAIRE GIRAUD
With a voice now fully realized and a creative spirit completely unleashed, Marie-Claire Giraud is poised to take the music world by storm on her own extraordinary terms.
