Track Of The Day: In My Eyes – Marie-Claire Giraud

This is a breezy jazz track that that starts off with piano drums and bass doing hits while the vocals gently scat across the intro… I call this breezy because it reminds me of the kind of music you’d imagine in a film soundtrack as part of a montage of scenes – 80s romcom, and …
