Anjulie is quite impressive as an opening salvo from a talented musical collagist whose minor flurry of hype is well-warranted.
-
All together it makes for an often sumptuous debut album of lithe, modern coffeehouse soul (in senses musical and literal: Hear Music is a joint venture between Starbucks and Concord Music Group) that smartly avoids the bohemian.
-
70Anjulie has a distinctive, somewhat thin voice and it takes a few listens to warm up to it. There's a slight Europop and world feel to both Anjulie's vocals and songs but there's nothing radical going on here.
-
Levine's production style isn't quite as edgy or intricate as his former colleagues', but it provides a lush, retro-soul bed upon which Anjulie lays her confessional lyrics.
-
50The rest of her songs on Anjulie are really hit and miss. Some are catchy enough to enjoy, others are boring enough to forget about.
-
50For all its misfires and blemishes, Anjulie is by no means a bad album. It's just that the limitations of Anjulie's vocal range (and some of her unrefined lyrics) wear the listener out early on.
