Blue Alert by Anjani [CD review]

Blue Alert resonates with sensual warmth, blending Anjani's fluid feminine voice with sagacious lyrics by Leonard Cohen. Anjani's sultry inflections underscore the album's adult observations on intimacy, love, and remorse. Illustrating Cohen's legendary clout with language, Anjani shines on "Never Got To Love You":

The memories come back empty
Like their batteries are low
It feels like you just left me
Tho’ it happened years ago

Blue Alert, as a whole, offers a plethora of equally crafted lines and phrasings. Given Anjani's impeccable vocal delivery, this album deserves its own suite in Leonard Cohen's tower of song.
