小简介
Alluring. Sophisticated. Spirited. Timeless. The self-titled CD by acclaimed artist, Anjani is a mesmerizing collection of original acoustic, smooth jazz, and world music.
Anjani takes you on an intimate journey of revelation and celebration, portraying affairs of the heart with vision and integrity, in this self-produced work. She generates an aura of compassion, through astute lyrics that are convincing and uplifting, never banal or predictable. The ultimate reward of this project is a soothing, compelling affirmation of unconditional love.
What sets Anjani apart from other vocally blessed singer/songwriters, is her mastery of the keyboard. In the words of one reviewer, "The arrangement on this song (Ain’t Foolin’ No One) is so subtle and well filled out, it is a while before you realize it is only voice and piano, with no other accompanying instruments."
Critics will laud this debut for the deft handling of diverse musical genres. From "Here and Now," an acoustic soundtrack for life, to the jazz torch ballad, "Over You," to the ki ho’alu (slack key guitar) sound of "Kanaloa," a duet in Hawaiian featuring Henry Kapono; every tune is an unexpectedly refreshing offering that reaches far beyond ordinary pop fare.
Fusion jazz virtuoso, Frank Gambale plays acoustic guitar on five cuts, most notably the latin tinged samba, "Ties That Bind." A world class rhythm section provides sensitive embellishment to these highly crafted songs. The results are simply stellar--instrumentation never gets in the way of the celestial voice or its message, yet all tracks are sonically balanced.

- @Coffee(我还没想好要写什么...)：下架的歌曲如何才能听到？
- @嘘，安静点~~~(我看着你们就像看着自己，...)：✈
- @乐未央(我还没想好要写什么...)：Thanks For The Dance 很好听的一首歌，可惜下架了。
- @鸢尾Iris(逍遥于天地而心意自得)：不能更赞
- @NΦ(口味很杂。 顺耳就行，...)：Anjani’s latest album, “Blue Alert” was co-written with Leonard Cohen. Cohen on Thomas: “She has this capacity — melody after melody — to hit the mark. Not go beyond it and not fall short…just perfect.” Anjani 06年的专访：
- @NΦ(口味很杂。 顺耳就行，...)：很有气质的面相和声线。
- @绿树清风(暂无签名~)：这女声高冷 可偏又让我着迷
- @解风(聽音樂看人)：06年的这张Blue Alert，淡淡的爵士曲风配合着Anjani优美的钢琴伴奏，在经过Anjani的改编以后带来更多女性对于爱情的体会和思考。从中可以看出一个女子在爱情中的自我审视与态度，Innermost Door、The Golden Gate里对逝去爱情的告别，Half The Perfect World描写了一个30岁女子的生活状态，Nightinggale我想是暗喻一个她曾爱过的男子，其余的歌曲或者述说女子对她爱慕的男子各种复杂的情感与热烈的爱恋或者描写男女之间忽远忽近的情感关系。最后一首歌：Thanks For The Dance惆怅与未曾消失的爱意是她心中云淡风清般的温柔。
- @解风(聽音樂看人)：Anjani Thomas，这个自称“守旧的女孩“，出生于夏威夷的火努鲁鲁，在就读伯克利音乐学院以前接受过吉他、钢琴和声乐的训练，后来她去到曼哈顿，在爵士Club圈里表演，从一些钢琴名家Vince Guaraldi到Bill Evans的作品中吸取灵感。1984年Anjan被制作人John Lissauer介绍给Cohen，她迷人的和声出现在Cohen的著名作品“Hallelujah”里，此后Anjani以一个键盘手和歌手的身份参加了Cohen的Various Positions世界巡回演唱会，2000年，Anjiani发行了一张同名专辑，融合了爵士、民谣的风格，并受到夏威夷音乐的影响。
