Blue Alert (2006)
EW's GRADE
C+Details Release Date: May 23, 2006; Lead Performance: Anjani Thomas; Genre: Pop
As Leonard Cohen's former backup singer-keyboardist and current girlfriend, Anjani Thomas has a pretty good pedigree; she and Cohen also collaborated on material for this major-label debut. But Blue Alert only reminds you that Cohen's words are better served by his own gravelly tone than by someone with a more conventionally pretty voice. These songs have their share of arresting lyrics (''We made us a room, but the roof's falling in''), but Thomas' blandly spotless delivery and the monotonous cabaret settings only neutralize them.
