Boom
Her debut album for Hear Music doesnt arrive until in the spring of 09, however futurists will get a taste of one of next years most dazzling artistic arrivals on Tuesday, November 11th with the release of The Boom EP a 3-song digital only EP from creatively fearless singer/songwriter, Anjulie. Born to immigrant parents from Guyana and raised in Toronto, Anjulie is an intriguing, authentic new voice on the pop landscape, with the melodic gifts, vocal prowess and sophistication that announce her as a true original. Obsessed with music as a child, Anjulie has been singing and writing songs since she was a teen, and the years she spent honing her craft are readily apparent on this special digital only 3-song EP and her forthcoming self-titled debut album for Hear Music. Co-written with her producer and collaborator Jon Levine (of Canadian RB hit makers the Philosopher Kings), Anjulie sets intensely personal stories about her life, loves, obsessions, and heartbreaks to a glittering genre-blending mix of pop, hip-hop, rock, and world rhythms she heard as a child growing up. The slinky opening track, Boom, works a dark, Nancy Sinatra-esque 60s vibe, while the sweet pop sophistication of Love Songs and Day Will Soon Come exhibit her personal and musical confessions come to life. Much like her contemporaries Nelly Furtado, Corinne Bailey Rae and Lily Allen, Anjulie is ready to carve out her own essential place in popular music with this versatile, confident, eclectic introduction.
