27 years old was she when Imany started singing. For many artists, the career is already over at that age. This does not apply for the beautiful French woman with Comorian roots
With 37 years it has succeeded in doing what many musicians a lifetime dream. Clubbers around the world danced this summer for their song “Do not Be So Shy “remixed by Russian DJ duo Filatov & amp; Karas through the night. Now
One day is with “The Wrong Kind Of War” her second album appeared. Earn as a singer her money was unimaginable for Imany long time. “As a little girl, the idea was to be a singer, like flying to the moon,” says Imany that actually Nadia Mladjao is. And her biography actually like a classic Cinderella story reads: girl of humble origins goes to New York to get started as a model. As the jobs fail to materialize, it begins to be a waiter. Inspired by friends, she decides to take their fate into their own hands. Lo and behold -. The moon was not so far
Your music could be in any category pack Imany himself says it was a little bit of everything with this.. You love Bob Dylan’s music, but also the influences of Tracy Chapman and Nina Simone were important to them. The one hears on her album. If Imany sings in her deep, melancholy haunting voice of a lost love, she remembers very much of Chapman, with “Fast Car” and “Talkin ‘Bout A Revolution” their greatest success in the late eighties.
And yet another commonality connects Imany with their idol. They both have made it their aim to denounce the injustice in the world in their music. “In my album is about emancipation and freedom (…). It is about the empowerment of women to the strengthening of all people. I’m trying this issue to the central question in all my songs to make “
And showing Imany also on the cover of their longplayer” The Wrong Kind Of War “. Young, dark-skinned girl standing on a field against simple huts, most behind a barbed wire. One of them looks confident and challenging with arms crossed at camera. They all wear a knotted headscarf – just like Imany it in most public appearances do
An example of their artistic approach is their song “Save Our Soul”, in which they -. Accompanied by choral sounds – over the cruelty of messages complains which are daily distributed through the media. In “There Were Tears” she honors Nelson Mandela and calls on the handset, not to forget his struggle for freedom “. You have to stand up and fight, without simply nod and accept things as they are”
It does not seem to be much left of the summer hit-Queen, which owes its breakthrough in Germany catchy electro-pop. GfK chose the song “Dont Be So Shy” even to the summer hit of the year. Although Imany musical dedicates the big themes on their album, made it – next to the Success Remix – also an acoustic version of their hit on the album
“I started late with the singing and never had. a typical voice “Imany says about himself.” I’ve always worked with what I have and I do still “it was important to her, especially, to be honest -. as she writes, so as she sings. And their honesty proves by a special confession: home dancing Imany who want to do with big words and melancholy voice the world a better place to pop star Justin Bieber
