Anjulie
Boom

While the cover makes her look like an angst-ridden victim, newcomer Anjulie-Jon Levine’s music on this 3 song ep gives off a completely different image. Cheerful, innocent, optimistic and cleverly winsome, she joins the growing group of “quirky girls” like Sia that seem to have popped up the past year or so. Indie, but lots of fun, these songs have a synth techno groove, but “Love Songs” and “Day Will Soon Come” have a 60s bubble gum attractiveness, while “Boom” has a Middle East snap. Her nasally-math major-type voice exudes charm and wide eyed fascination with the simple things in life. Coy, without being cloying. She’s on tour right NOW, so check out her schedule at www.concordmusicgroup.com. She’ll be in LA this summer. Don’t miss this one!
