The Muse, by herself

Try Anjani Thomas' "Blue Alert", co-written and produced, biensûr, by Leonard Cohen. It's very beautiful. It probably lacks a certain kind of gravity that only Cohen's voice could bring, but it's still something to keep in your stereo for days and weeks. The words are strong, the music is soft, that’s a good, interesting contradiction. Face the lyrics, they will dare you, then let the music flow, a waltz does no harm... When Cohen sings a song, it's like he'd give himself (and you) an ultimatum. Who could ever negociate with the old, blue Leonard? His beloved Anjani is, in this regard, more tolerant. In a way, even more than you could hear on “Dear Heather” (by the way, there’s a version of “Nightingale” here too) her voice is permeable. It gave me the impression that it doesn’t stand. It lies down.
„Blue Alert” and „Thanks for the Dance” are, in my opinion, the best to breath in.

As far as I know, the album is not yet available in Europe. It will only happen in September. One more reason to warmly thank Thomas N. for sending it to me...
