AnJulie
Monday, 06/08/2009@ 8PM
What: With her unique voice, disarmingly frank lyrics, melodic gifts, and exotic good looks, singer and songwriter Anjulie announces herself as a commanding new presence on the music scene. On her self-titled debut album, the Los Angeles-based 26-year-old comes across as a confident young woman who examines her life, loves, obsessions, and heartbreaks with fearless introspection. "I think what separates me from other artists is that I write from a really intimate place," Anjulie says." This album is like me opening the door to my bedroom, literally. I come off as being pretty put-together, but my songs are the one place where I can pull the string and unravel. They're where I can be vulnerable, insecure, jealous, silly, and childlike. It's too scary to do that in real life. You have to feel safe. I only feel safe with headphones on."
