The term ‘easy-listening’ has a bad reputation. Which is a shame because it’s most apt to describe the second album by New York-based Cape Verdean lovely, Anane; simply titled Ananesworld. With the uncharacteristically sunny weather we’ve been enjoying here in the UK, the songstress and DJ’s sophomore project is the perfect accompaniment; undemanding and easy-on-the-ear. That’s not ‘easy-listening’ in the vein of Bacharach-esque MOR standards, mind. On the contrary, Ananesworld – produced by the lady herself and hubbie, legendary producer/DJ Louie Vega – is a celebration of Disco music in all its glorious incarnations with some Rock, Afro-beat, Latin, Reggae and Soul detours made along the way.
