Clear Day

Clear Day is the 11th album by Canadian jazz vocalist Emilie-Claire Barlow. It features the Dutch jazz and pop orchestra Metropole Orkest conducted by Jules Buckley. It won the Juno Award for Vocal Jazz Album of the Year in 2016. Clear Day is a "mélange of folk and rock staples" with songs by "artists spanning all genres and time periods, from Brad Mehldau to Coldplay." The album is a narrative with each song telling part of her personal story -- "Each song represents my state of mind, a turning point, a crossroad, ...The important thing was that the song needed to convey that particular moment in time." The record also features a 70-piece Metropole Orkest, expanded from the usual 52 piece line up. The album was produced and arranged by Barlow and Steve Webster with orchestration by the duo as well as three orchestrations by Shelly Berger and two orchestrations by John Metcalfe arranger for Peter Gabriel's New Blood Orchestra.
