Anjali Biography
Miss Lady A would love to be a figure of clandestine intrigue. Unfortunately such cloak-and-dagger ambitions will have to be put on hold. Her second, stupendously brilliant album, “THE WORLD OF LADY A”, demands that the world and his mistress learn a whole lot more about Anjali Bhatia (see, her cover is already blown). “THE WORLD OF LADY A” is the assured follow-up to 2000’s critically acclaimed debut album, “ANJALI”.
Armed with a sampler and an array of battered charity shop albums, “ANJALI” concocted a sublime and incredibly sensual take on lounge exotica. Here, spy-film atmospherics, Serge Gainsbourg sensibilities, 1950s big band grandeur and low-slung beats colluded to put the heat into – whisper it – chill out.
“That album was quite embryonic,” declares Anjali, “it was at the time I decided to start singing again. It was quite a tender, very personal and very adventurous album.”
Previously Anjali’s output on three well received EP’s – “Maharani”, “Ju Ju” and “Aquila” - navigated a loose and languid experimentalism over structured songcraft. Compiled on 1999’s “SHEER WITCHERY” album, these forays into sampledelic terrains became a vital learning process.
