What is in today's music market from still the element of surprise? An unexpected voice mixed with simple sound carries this and not into the background. I had the pleasure IMANI opening for James Morrison to experience live. The effect spoke a thousand words: These dainty little person came on stage, opened his mouth and after the first three words came out of the crowd in unison WOW and then they had us all on a leash. The depth of IMANIs voice reminiscent of a mixture of Macy Grey and Tracy Chapman, but the songs are anything but earwigs: just thinks it "Now I have understood the song" and then he takes a completely different direction. No mainstream and worth listening to anyway. A capella only with guitar accompaniment was of course great, but also professionally mixed have music for all those who delight in listening.
