From the very beginning, let's get one thing
straight. Vera is intriguingly beautiful and has mesmerizing vocal abilities and
sound clarity. She puts every effort to distinguish herself from the ordinary
crowd. Mission accomplished! She is anything but ordinary. An empowered woman,
Vera is a devoted wife and a mother of four, all the while making her more
enticing. Sorry guys, she's taken!
But just when we thought to look
to Iraq for traditions and folklore sounds, comes a crossroads album filled with
jazz, pop, and even some Greek influences in Vera's debut album "Ana Yan
At."
Though this is namely a folklore
album, it often steers away from familiar sounds, landing somewhere between the
strings of Spanish guitar and percussions. Anyone familiar with songstress
Celine Dion will recognize the borrowed sounds in the first two seconds of the
opening track "Khooba Wera" from "It's All Coming Back To Me
Now," Celine's 1996 hit from the album "Falling Into You."
The music often shifts from one
style to another in an attempt to capture too many sounds, and thus looses
connectivity throughout the album, albeit the soulful Assyrian beat finally
peaks its head in the sixth track "Jwanket Mathene."
Vera is courageous! In the face
of the carnage in Iraq where women are being forced to dress in headwear, she
masterminds the Westernization of her album, including album writing in the
English language, artistic photos, and surrounding herself with gifted
musicians. She possesses beauty, talent and pizzazz. Senharib Productions
must've had one heck of a tough Assyrian woman on their hands. This album has a
big attitude.
