Aimée Allen’s intimate connection with music began as a child. Her childhood was quite literally scored with classic jazz, because of her mother’s intense love of the music. The influence of the jazz tradition can be heard in Aimée’s musical style and interpretation choices. But Aimée’s listeners can also hear her individual voice, nuanced and sparkling with soul and sensuality. Singing came early for Aimée. But she first began to sing professionally as a college student. At Yale University Aimée was an active member and soloist with two a cappella singing groups performing a jazz repertoire. After graduation, Aimée lived in Paris and performed regularly in clubs and at music festivals. There, her understanding of the place of jazz in the world deepened and her interpretive style began to flourish.

The intense relationship between the francophone audience in Paris and Brazilian bossa nova, long one of Aimée’s musical loves, led Aimée to form a group dedicated to bossa and jazz: Les Bossa Novices. Aimée performed frequently in and outside of Paris with Les Bossa Novices.

As part of New York’s jazz community for the past few years, Aimée has continued to navigate traditional and modern jazz, infusing her craft with a personal and intimate style. In addition to selections from the great American songbook, Aimée sings some not-sostandards, pays homage to Brazilian bossa, and frequently includes a French lyric. Her touch is always sincere and her sound authentic. Her singular voice and soul has garnered the love of many of the city’s best young musicians.

On her 2006 release, Dream, Aimée offers inspired interpretations of jazz standards, classic bossa nova and one original composition. These include imaginative renditions of My Favorite Things, Cry Me A River, Daydream, and Nature Boy, and versions of familiar Brazilian bossas, sung in their native Portuguese. Aimée also sings the French lyric to Autumn Leaves (Les Feuilles Mortes) with the rarely sung verse. The album concludes with a playful blues penned by Aimée herself.

Aimée's brand new CD, l’Inexplicable, is the fruit of her transcontinental experiences in music and her talents as a writer. The album is a collection of warm, soulful, jazz-pop originals blending African rhythms, Brazilian bossa, and classic American jazz. With two exceptions, all the selections on l’Inexplicable were written by Aimée, and each is sung in sexy, sonorous French (except English What The Senses Know, Solitude Blues, and Portuguese / English Manhã de Carnaval. l’Inexplicable was released in Japan in the beginning of 2008, obtaining very good reviews from critics, and worm reception from the listeners. The European premiere of Aimée's new album l'Inexplicable took place in Poland on the 24th of November 2008. Releases in other countries will follow in the beginning of next year.

Release date: 24 November 2008 The album has been released by Schubert Music Publishing under exclusive license from Arizona University Recordings, and distributed by SONY BMG MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT (POLAND).
