Weather A Storm With You (6:35) I Came To Love is the new album by Hawaiian-born singer Anjani Thomas who has strong family connections with Okinawa. Several years ago she made the album Okinawa Time which featured some of her own re-written versions of Okinawan songs by Rinken Teruya. Since that time she has found fame for her collaborations with Leonard Cohen and her last solo album Blue Alert was entirely co-written with Cohen and produced by him. It's already eight years since the excellent Blue Alert and a lot has happened since then, though Anjani's fans must have begun to wonder whether this long promised new album was ever going to materialise. Well, the extended wait has been worth it and I Came To Love stands up very well alongside its predecessor. The album includes three songs co-written with Cohen (one of these an adaptation of an early poem). The other seven compositions are entirely the work of Anjani who plays piano and keyboards with a select band of handpicked musicians including country music giant Larry Campbell, renowned flamenco guitarist Pavlo, and co-producer Jerry Marotta on bass and percussion. Anjani has obviously absorbed much of the songwriting and recording process from Cohen but at the same time she seems to have grasped a new freedom in following a somewhat different path of her own here and the results are more varied and more interesting than ever. 'Standing on the Stairs' begins the album in almost identical fashion to Blue Alert with its minimalist but sophisticated jazzy arrangement complementing her clear and precisely enunciated vocals. But just when we think we know exactly where this is going we get the countrified 'Love in Between' and then the folk-bluesy 'Holy Ground'. The title track which is the centrepiece of the album expertly contrasts light and shade and almost rocks out in parts as does the following 'The Goal'. One of the most compelling songs is 'Clean Slate' which seems to sum up a theme of rebirth and regeneration which runs through much of an album concerned with love and reflections on life's twists and turns. In a twist of her own, 'Love Be a River' is positively European with its guitar, bouzouki and accordion rising and falling along with the vocal. I Came To Love was recorded in a variety of locations over a period of six years. It has no obvious standout tracks. Instead the album hangs together as a single statement and the initial impressions get better with every listen. http://rapidgator.net/file/9fdef84e1f2248ca23010b7560dd1a51/Anjani_Love2014.rar.html http://ssh.tf/tFGGRszDg/Anjani_Love2014.rar http://uploaded.net/file/96599j51/Anjani_Love2014.rar

Thanks For The Dance With its program of popular songs by Leonard Cohen and Anjani Thomas, Blue Alert settles in gently for an audience in love. Don't look for sheets of riveting sound to fill the room with propulsive action, or thunderous backbeats to shake your bones in a fascinating rhythmic groove. This is not that kind of album. Anjani's performance brings out the beauty of each song through natural means as she warms with piano and keyboard in support of her evocative vocals. Anjani's clear alto voice creates a beautiful session that sparkles with natural charm. She pours country feeling and blue emotions into each selection, interpreting lyrics convincingly and offering wordless phrases to complement her tales with a solid caress. The accompaniment is kept to a minimum, so that we may remain in touch with her voice. And it works. The lovely session reveals a natural voice in touch with a broad audience. She touches everyone with her unique ballad interpretations. Born in Honolulu and schooled at Berklee, Anjani plays piano and keyboards to accompany her dreamy vocals. She sings with the honesty of a folk singer in love with her songs. "Thanks for the Dance comes with a mesmerizing waltz-time rhythm. "The Golden Gate takes a look back at fond memories with a positive glow. "No One After You professes undying love through poignant lyrics that Anjani interprets convincingly. "Crazy to Love You adds a string quartet for a dash of color; however, the focus remains on Anjani's lovely voice and her vivid interpretations. ~ Jim Santella https://www.allaboutjazz.com/blue-alert-anjani-columbia-records-review-by-jim-santella.php Personnel: Anjani: vocals, piano; John Lissauer: baritone saxophone, clarinet, keyboards; Greg Liesz: lap steel guitar; Danny Frankel: drums; Bruce Dukov, Brian Leonard: violin; Pam Goldsmith: viola; Larry Corbett: cello. http://rapidgator.net/file/f72d0ddd691d0b4cb4c0116b9f582e69/AnjaniAlert.rar.html ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss http://ssh.tf/m9XDdt48p/AnjaniAlert.rar ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss http://uploaded.net/file/ysksptxy/AnjaniAlert.rar
