Influenced by Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, Yosuke Yamashita, Billie Holiday. Ella Fitzgerry was born to a Creole chef from the 7th Ward and a Japanese kintsugi artist from Kyoto. She grew up in a New Orleans home filled with the scent of gumbo and the sound of her mother mending broken pottery with gold. After discovering her grandfather's collection of Ella Fitzgerald's Verve LPs in the attic, she found her calling, applying the meticulous precision of her mother's craft to the art of vocal jazz. Her songs are intimate portraits of a nine-year love with a maritime architect, exploring the seams and beautiful repairs of a long-term relationship.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The Baccarat tumblers have a certain weight
Sweating condensation on a cypress slate.
The wool on the chaise lounge smells of cedar and faint rain.
A perfect, load-bearing, architectural pane.

[Chorus]
This is the rental rate,
the cost-per-square of my straight face.
A quiet seam of transaction and place,
an hourly grace.

[Verse 2]
The linen napkins, Belgian, ironed flat.
Each fork is aligned on the water-hyacinth mat.
'Just keep the platters full,' a voice like silk.
The air-conditioning hums a single note of milk.

[Bridge]
The St. Charles line sighs past at half-past ten.
I step onto the gallery, breathe the damp again.
Just for a second, I see our cypress floor,
and I don't know what I'm mending anymore.

[Chorus]
This is the rental rate,
the cost-per-square of my straight face.
A quiet seam of transaction and place,
an hourly grace.

[Outro]
Those Baccarat tumblers have a different weight
leaving water-rings on a cypress slate.
