 Rating:  - Life before Norah JonesPianist Anjani Thomas has been doing her thing for decades, usually spending most of her time collaborating with her mentor, Leonard Cohen. And her latest release Blue Alert is nothing short of excellence. Those of you that aren't fans of "piano jazz" (for lack of a better term) probably won't think much of this album because you might think that all the songs blend into each other, but in MY opinion, the album never runs out of gems. Standouts include the title track, "Nightingale" and "Never Got to Love You". Also stellar are relationship turmoil songs like the final two, "Crazy to Love You" and "Thanks for the Dance". And everything else is great, too. If you want to hear some good coffee shop music right in your ...

I love his lyrics and his voice and tend not to like other artists' renditions of his songs. So it was with some trepidation that I bought the CD by Anjani. I knew it was based on Leonard's lyrics and it has been a long time since Leonard came out with a new CD. Well, I was thrilled listening to Anjani! Her voice is filled with all the 'soulful' nuances, the richness that Leonard brings to his songs. It is definitely not Leonard's voice, it is distinctly her own. Rating: - Where have I been?I'd never heard of Anjani, but listened to a couple of lines on the Amazon link and liked what I heard. I love this CD! Songs written with or by Leonard Cohen just put the icing on the cake for me. Rating:  - Blue Alert Anjani Blue Alert Sony Legacy For years people wondered who the new Dylan would be. Funny, nobody wondered who the new Leonard Cohen would be. Well for those of you who even silently wondered, former Cohen background singer and now creative partner Anjani makes a gorgeous debut with Blue Alert, an album of Cohen's lyrics set to jazz-based piano arrangements. Minutes into the CD you feel as if you are inside a NYC jazz club. The night outside is miles away and you want to spend the night with her. You forget yourself and tomorrow may never come. It all works quite well. The album's crowning achievement is "Nightingale," If you are a fan of Cohen's poetry and also like sultry jazz vocals, this ...

It's beauty is in its understatement. I think Anjani does a great job of interpreting Leonard Cohen's lyrics and songs. Anjani's voice is sweet and engaging as she sings these ballads, thoroughly connecting with the content of the lyrics and presenting a smooth, lovely collection. This partnership should continue and Cohen should record his next CD with Anjani--she adds a special dimension to his lyrics with her beautifully constructed yet simple arrangements. |
