TREASA LEVASSEUR

Low Fidelity

treasalevasseur.com

Plowing the fertile fields of blues, soul, jazz and cabaret, Canada’s Juno award-winning chanteuse Treasa Levasseur is an old soul recast as a contemporary crooner. Suggestive, seductive, soulful and scornful—depending on the song and circumstance—she sounds as timeless as the love-struck laments that soar throughout this set. With hints of Sade, Norah Jones, Laura Nyro and Bonnie Raitt, Levasseur’s songs are striking the first time they reach your ear, be it the sassy strut that propels “Talk To Me Babe,” the wailing R&B of “Give Me Just One,” the stark, searing confession of “Rest of the Ride” or the gospel wail that graces “Amen.” Levasseur possesses a talent that can bring even nonbelievers to their knees.
