Post Description

Cellist/singer Anne Janelle moves so gracefully between classical and contemporary styles, you'd think it was easy. Throughout her years of training as a classical cellist Anne maintained a love of popular, jazz and folk styles. Since 2006 Anne has performed widely with ukulelist/songwriter James Hill; their acclaimed collaboration True Love Don't Weep won Traditional Album of the Year at the 2009 Canadian Folk Music Awards. The Folk Diary calls Anne "absolutely brilliant on the cello," but it's her songwriting that has taken centre stage these days. Beauty Remains, her debut solo album, exhibits songs that teem with complexity and candour; they offer a special blend of influences that range from Mozart to Feist to Nick Drake to John Zorn. Whether stripped-bare or richly orchestrated, her musical mélange swirls with emotion, honesty and sparkle. In every song, the listener is privy to Anne's secret life as expressed through compelling imagery, diverse orchestration and her captivatingly sweet voice.
