Close your eyes for a moment and picture a paradise where house, reggae, rock, r&b and soul all meet on a single Caribbean disco plane. Now open them. You hear that? That intoxicating tropical groove you hear means you’ve just stepped into Anané’s World. With Anané, there’s no such thing as one-dimensionality. The sultry songstress boils many different flavors into a single pot, serving up a dish of delicious grooves and diverse melodies. A cover of Yoko Ono’s “Walking on Thin Ice,” the CD’s introductory track, stands as the appetizer, inducing a bit of Saturday Night Fever while keeping your mouth watering for more. “Rock the Cradle” is a mouthful of breezy melodies and reggae bliss, and after tantalizing us with a taste of the islands, Anané serves listeners a platter straight from the Côte d'Azur with songs like “Terra Longe” and “Bem Ma Mi.”
