Audio Mixer: Ed Sanders . Photographer: Lian Lunson. Arrangers: Leonard Cohen; John Lissauer. Although the Hawaiian-born singer-songwriter is well known as a protegee of reclusive poet and singer Leonard Cohen, and her solo debut consists of songs created from lyrics Anjani gathered from decades of Cohen's writings, BLUE ALERT is not a Leonard Cohen album. Anjani's vocals and keyboards are at the center of this album, providing a Brazil-goes-electroclash vibe akin to Bebel Gilberto or New York bossa nova electronica outfit the Mosquitos. Songs like "Blue Alert" and the Brazilian-influenced "Half the Perfect World" are well-constructed, shapely songs that don't sound at all like Cohen's dour basso profundo glower.
