Ala.ni seduces with sweet piano riffs and her gentle voice. After the very first bar, a switch is flipped and the hectic pace is forgotten. Goodbye stressful everyday life. A pleasant world of sound opens up. The fact that a song like "Darkness at Noon" is inspired by Nancy Sinatra's "Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)" is not noticeable in a negative way. On the contrary, Ala.ni's songs make you think you're listening to an old friend. The title track "Suddenly" from the album "You & I", which was released in January, sounds pretty Fitzgerald-like. And yet not ingratiating. Ala.ni means: close your eyes, lean back and enjoy.
