  My One and Only Thrill is the second studio album by American singer-songwriter   Melody Gardot, released on April 28, 2009, by Verve Records. Three singles were   released from the album: "Who Will Comfort Me," "Baby I'm a Fool," and "Your   Heart Is As Black As Night." The album received three Grammy Award nominations:   Instrumental Arrangement Accompanying Vocalist(s) for the title track (Mendoza),   Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical (Helik Hadar and Al Schmitt), and Producer   of the Year, Non-Classical (Klein).
 
  In a musical landscape ripe with great singers (of which she is one) it is   Melody's unique approach to songwriting that sets her apart. Although her songs   often sound like jazz, they defy easy categorization. "...a touch of Peggy   Lee's poetry, a hint of Norah Jones and Joni Mitchell..."
 
  Melody's tunes already feel like classics, possessed of a timeless quality rare   in today's pop music. The one non-original song here is her brilliant take on   the Wizard of Oz chestnut "Over the Rainbow." Two songs on this album were   co-written with Grammy®-Award winner Jesse Harris. This album achieves an air of   sophistication due to the talents of producer Larry Klein (Grammy® Album of the   Year winner for Herbie Hancock’s River) and the tasteful orchestrations of Vince   Mendoza.
 
  "This is an exceptional album and anyone who thought the great age of the   torch singer was over should lend an ear." - The Times of London
 
  "Her songwriting is filled with soft surprise and savvy lyrics..." - SF   Chronicle
 
  "My One and Only Thrill is built primarily on Gardot originals that   seamlessly blend sultry, late-night jazz blues, singer/songwriter introspection,   and sophisticated pop melodies....what impresses is how thoroughly My One and   Only Thrill lives up to the promise of her debut, offering another album that is   as enchanting in its sound as it is in its substance." -Stephen Thomas   Erlewine, allmusic.com
