B i o g r a p h y
(by Mario Mesquita Borges)

With inspirations ranging from the intense sounds of alternative pop to funk, Anjali's creations combine the features of electronic and club/dance with the power of her distinguished voice, buoyed by restraint and superior production options. Presenting exotic and notable ideas, mostly sustained with Asian-inspired electronica, Anjali portrays a distinctive path within the modern beat grounds. However, and regardless of her contemporary and electronic style sound preferences, Anjali Bathia first started her career in the music world as vocalist and main songwriter of the riot grrrl band Voodoo Queens in the early '90s. After the release of several records with the feminine punk crew, Anjali decided to start following her own trail, releasing a series of four EPs: Maharani, Ju Ju, Aquila, and Feline Woman, all of which were assembled on Sheer Witchery, a compilation record released through the Wiiija Records label. Anjali's work began establishing original foundations within the electronic music scene, granting her with the necessary conditions to attempt even more impressive sound experimentations. The British vocalist then decided to join efforts with Spykid, an experimental DJ and producer whose credits included work with Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore and Mojave 3's Neil Halstead. Following the release of the single Lazy Lagoon, Anjali delivered her first and self-titled album in November of 2000 in the U.K. Anjali received positive reviews from the media and acclaim from the public.

With these tired dreams of mine
Time to take it to the blue
With this broken soul of mine
Time to take it to the blue
To the blue ...

Electric storms, swirling skies
And that's just the way you make me feel
I don't don't wanna go
Don't take me back to this world

Arabian queen right on the scene
Riding along in her cinematic dream
I am the queen of this harem
I got my veil on and i'm feeling serene

Arabian highs, bear the sundown sigh
Let's gather round the hookah
Blowing circles to the sky
Arabian dreams everybody seems ...
And she says ...

Hold on her heels taht swinging girl of sin
With her jewel-encrusted gown
And her belly swinging brown
Sold all her sins and everybody sway

With rubies on her toes everybody knows
She's the queen of the sand
The desert and the land
A breeze like mango kulli
A little hoochie koochie
And she says ...

Cocooned in silken shrouds
And jasmine scented clouds
She's the queen of the harem
You know who wears the crown
She teases and she sleazes
You know it never ceases
When she does her voodoo

(Sweet as almond honey
A lick of chunky monkey
She's sticky like jalebi
i don't wanna hear a maybe)

Who are you and where you from
And why does life go on and on ?
Through it all, I have to say
I couldn't live another day

And everything I touch turns to dust
It haunts me
I'm falling in the sea of saturnine
It wants me

And all of the fears I tended to be
I couldn't ever love
And everything I touch turns to dust
I couldn't ever love

If you wanna know me, know me
Gotta show what you know
And then show me
Ooh it's a feeling
And I know, do you know
That I'm dealing
If you wanna throw me, throw me
Gotta show that it's love that witholds me
Ooh, I'm fizzing up nicely
Plutonium beats, they define me
I've got some mochomo cake
Strawberry mousse, it will make your heart quake
Ooh she's a liar, waxen with the scent of pariah
She took it all to Venus City
Where the girl showed a whole lot of pity

If you wanna scold me, scold me
Don't beat around the hush and dethrone me
Ooh it's a feeling
And you know, do you know, that I'm reeling
If you wanna shame me, blame me
Let it out, it will turn around and save me
Ooh the angels didn't like that
Left my soul for the sugar in the body bag
I got some mochomo cake
Strawberry mousse and it killed my heartrising
Just say it concisely
neptunian beats they decide me
She sold her soul to the sandman
And if the grains in the earth
Couldn't feed her land

I'm walking through dark lands
And the angels let go of my hand
And love just seemed to be a minion
In another time
And everything I ever did
Came back to haunt me
And everything I ever was
Became sand

How many times
Does it take to say goodbye ?
How many moves
Has the mistress of disguise?
And if a cyclone rules my heart
Deceit is sure to loot the past

How many times
For every single day?
We're lost in the sea
Solely left to pray
And if she ever could control
i'm swimming in the green and gold
I am

It's a pagan lust
I'm your brown cocoa
Silver glistens as the palm trees
Whisper your name
Your hand in my heart
beat until there is no time
Just space

How many times
Does it take ?
How many moves
Does she make?
And if that cyclone rules my heart

Let it all just drift away
Just left this ceaseless life
And tell me what to say
And it seemsthat I will never get it right
And it's all because the mistress of disguise

Hold everything
You've got to if you need to flow
I couldn't think
I was hoping on that nebula
Hold everything
I couldn't if you need to flow

I needed him
But Lord, you know it's sin to sin
Hold everything
When will you notice that it's ... ?
When will you go?
When will you see
That we are on our own
Let go of everything
You know it's only ...

Shower me with kisses blue
Don't do those things
Ooh that the other people do
Let it lie, I feel fine
Empower me all the time

You know that I feel fine
You know you wanna use it
You know that I feel fine
And I know you won't abuse it

Love I said love, is turquoise & blue
The colour of you is turquoise & blue
And it feels like this...

How how can it show 'cause I tell you if I need you
I hold you, I don't mind if I do
And the voice is green and purple too
And it feels like this ...

I tell you if I need you
I tell you if you need me too
And the colour of your love is
Is turquoise & blue
If I only, this love is purple only
And turquoise & blue

Kulu came from Babalu
Eyes like rain saw into you
Kulu says throw my ashes in the sea

The ocean deeps as wounds upon my feet
I've stalked this earth a million times before
And I know I've paid for my crimes
'Cause life's unkind

Close the door
Sea and shore
Breeze to shades
So magical
Leave behind
Discordant minds
Avarice I leave

When I taste tears
Fortune evades me once more
And I shift too far
Yes I'm sinking
Through this magical door
And I don't want to wake up

When I see me
Oh on these comforting clouds
And I seem at ease
Oh I'm sinking
Through this magical door
And I don't want to wake up

It's been raining
Hundred days, thousand nights
It's cold when I awake
No more light
To a sky without a moon
I heard you say
See you soon

Kali came, she took away
Said it had to die
So it could grow again
If you don't wake up
You'll be on the stars
Throw them down
To me
Wherever you are

Misty canyon

Oh, i can figure that you really need my love
Cause i've been in the twilight far too long
So i'll unlock my heart and throw you the key
And you can do what you want with me...
This time, i'll put my heart on the line

Misty canyon, how i search for my soul rescue
Through the vapours, king of hearts oh, won't you take me

Spent distant nightfalls walking through the mountain trails
Cause i've been faded to see love again,
And all my spirits say to me....
When's lady luck gonna take this spell off me?
I know, i'll put my heart on his soul
Heart on his soul...

Misty canyon, how i search for my soul rescue
Through the vapours, king of hearts oh, won't you take me

And all my spirits say to me.....

Asian provocateur

If you only knew i'm sat alone
And if your mamma knew
The things i was doin' to you
You've gotta put the butter on it
Let the coffee stew
Tell me later
What you goin' through

Gimme, gimme lovin'
Mithi, mithi, soft lovin'

So far, you know you've gotta
Let the lovin' flow
From the head
To the toe
If your mamma knew
She'd tell you that we're through
She said that i'm the devil woman
The lady from hades

So gimme gimme lovin'
Mithi, mithi, soft lovin'

Put the butter on it
Let the coffee stew
Lovin'

Rainy day

On this rainy day
Feel the moonspill drift to silver grey
Would like to feel the sun, but it's too late...
On this rainy day

For my heart still beats
In the crowded streets, its solemn beats
Echo solitude as distant peaks
Washes over me and steals the peace

It's like the sun was never mine
It took away the silver lines
On clouds that broad into the mind
And throw it all away...

And the grains of time
Repossess me and all mankind
A fragile entity that breathes inside
On this rainy day

It's like the sun was never mine
It took away the silver lines
On clouds that broad into the mind
And throw it all away...

It's like the sun could never see
This life that breathes so endlessly
A mellow daze that captures me
And throws it all away
On this rainy day...

Seven x eight

If you let her go
You're gonna end up lonely
And if you really know
Yeah, you know, that's your folly
Cause you'll never, never ever
Have a girl like me

Cause i'm the best
You'll ever have
I can vouch for that...
So don't come to me
With your broken heart
I won't mend it, i'll just wring it out
No you'll never, never ever
Have a girl like me

Seven times five, seven times five, seven
Now what you need
Is to look for your redemption
Seven times eight, seven times eight, seven
Don't look at me, take a look at your reflection
Oh, you're sorry, it's your folly
You made a big mistake

And you can search from jupiter to io
You'll never find another girl like me
Cause i'm the hot, lickin, kickin, lustin empress
And it's a shiver, you'll never feel
So you're sorry, it's your folly
You made a big mistake

Seven times five, seven times five, seven
Now what you need
Is to look for your redemption
Seven times eight, seven times eight, seven
Don't look at me, take a look at your reflection
Oh, you're sorry, it's your folly
You made a big mistake

Augh !

Seven times eight, seven times eight, seven
Don't look at me, take a look at your reflection (2x)
Oh, you're sorry, it's your folly
Well, it's too late
Well, it's just too late...

A humble girl

I was young now time's gone
Oh, what do i do?
He was mine for some time
Now this girl is blue...

And all the love that we earned
Has been forsaken
And all the depths of my world
Have been awoken

What is life without him?
Please, what should i do?
I was just a humble girl
Who got lost in your world
I will cross a thousand seas
To forget that boy

And all the love that we earned
Has been forsaken
And all the depths of my world
Have been awoken

Oh, i love him...
Please, just kiss me again...cause i'll never...
I'll never fall in love, no ever...
I wanna be in love forever...

Sati

Tu mere dil mai hai
Mai tere dil mai hoo
Tu meri zindagi
Khwabo mai bhi tum hoa

Hotho per naam tera
Dil mai chupaya hai
Tu mera saathi re
Janam janam si

Hymn to the sun

Autumn manifests its urban lights
Sedona rocks are burning red and white
Hymns are chanted to a midnight sage
And life just wanders through me in a haze

It's a breeze
Won't you tell him that i need him
Summer seems to leave
Without him...

Seasons change and i remain the same
Hymn to the sun leaves me cold again
People wander through my empty life
I just hum my sunset lullaby

It's a breeze
Won't you tell him that i need him
Summer seems to leave
Without him...

Ain't no friend

So many people tried to stop me
Doing what i wanna do
Cause i put my faith in everyone
And now i can see right through
Cause each one of you took a part of me
And tried to put me down
But i'm gonna rise above the skies
Cause now i wear the crown

I know and i can see
What everybody has done to me
I know and i will be
I've got my mata... And she's with me

You tried to be a friend of mine
But i can see right in your eyes
You lie, you're sly, you try to deny
And you ain't no friend of mine
So don't try and build a fire
In that cave you call your soul
The knight pulls down
The shadow of swords
And you know you'll never win this war

I know and i can see
What everybody has done to me
I know and i will be
I've got my mata... And she's with me

Rani of jhansi

Feed the hindu dirty water
With the blood from the sacred cow
And what you gonna feed them now?
200 years without respite
200 years, yeah, we're always gonna fight
And what you gonna feed them now?

From udam singh to lakshmi bai

Spirit lives on and on
So don't forget what they did to you then
And don't ever let it happen again...
Happen again

And now the scars don't hurt so much
And you can forget what you did to us
In this utopian imperial world
And all the names, the pillages and the pain
From the black
In my eye to the blue in my veins
Spirit lives on and on and on and strong
So hold on to what you are
They'll never steal what you really are
