Back in 2014 Mr. Alfa hit me up to provide vocals for his electro pop cover of the legendary Fleetwood Mac song, “Landslide.” As a lifetime fan of the band I was a bit hesitant to take on this masterpiece. Hesitantly I recorded a sole vocal line and sent it off. Fast-forward 7 years and suddenly the song appeared on the Venus Recordings SoundCloud account!

Mr. Alfa + Anji Bee Release Doomed/Who Will Help The Girl Single
On the brink of releasing her debut solo album, Anji Bee first releases a new single in collaboration with German producer, Mr. Alfa, on his Venus Recordings label. The 2- song single, ‘Doomed/Who Will Help The Girl,’ was begun last November, when Alfa Kay sent Bee the instrumental demo which became “Doomed.” Perhaps ironically, Bee added these distinctly unromantic lyrics to the tune in a Valentine’s Day 2013 recording session. Its unusual for Bee to use her first take scratch vocals in a finished song, but the immediacy of the recording adds a refreshing looseness to the nearly 7-minute jazzy downtempo track. The flip side, “Who Will Help The Girl,” invites the possibility of future love with its questioning lyric and more upbeat chillout vibes.
Bee and Kay previously collaborated on the free single, “Winter Sun,” released last Christmas season, and Kay has remixed several of Bee’s tracks, including the title track of her upcoming CD, ‘Love Me Leave Me,’ and her collaboration with Karmacoda and Beth Hirsch, “Love Will Turn Your Head Around.” You can find all of these tracks at anjibee.bandcamp.com

Anji Bee Collabs with Alfa Kay on “Winter Sun”
Check out the soulful and jazzy “Winter Sun” by Alfa Kay and Anji Bee out now! This track is part of an ongoing project by Venus International, who have created 5 different vocal versions, all of which are free to download on Bandcamp. He hoped this song would help bring awareness to the plight of homeless during the winter months, encouraging listeners to repay the karmic debt of a free download with a favor to those less fortunate during cold winter days, such as the gift of food, clothing, blankets or a kind word.
