Flor (LP, 2022 Limited Edition Orange Vinyl)

This 2022 Limited Edition Reissue LP is pressed on Orange vinyl.

Gretchen Parlato’s Flor is a luminous exploration of vocal jazz, spoken word, and chamber influences, where each track unfolds like a delicate brushstroke on canvas. Released in March 2021 under Edition Records, the album spans 46 minutes of intimate artistry, blending original compositions with reinterpretations—from the tender É Preciso Perdoar to Bach’s Cello Suite No. 1 BWV 1007 Minuet I II, reimagined with grace.

At its core, Flor—Portuguese for "flower"—reflects Parlato’s gift for storytelling through music, weaving lush harmonies (Sweet Love), playful motifs (Magnus), and introspective moments (Rosa). The album’s title track, Flor, anchors the collection in a dreamlike space where jazz, classical, and global sounds converge. With a voice as warm as it is precise, Parlato invites listeners into a world where every note feels like a revelation.
