Supported by a wide cast of musicians, Bogdanovic's seductive voice and eloquent compositions give AWAKE, her second album, its compelling dramatic curve.

The composer's inspirations are a "mashed up, mix of different things from classical music to jazz - traditional and modern, singer-songwriter, indie, electronic, soul, neo-soul, r&b, and hip-hop." Drawn to melancholy she likes rich and unusual harmonies.

"When I listen to music," she says "it needs to sound new to me. The perfect combination is something familiar, but original - especially harmonically." She wants her own music to be "very cross-over and fresh.

I don't want to be limited by anything." Greg Cohen, the renowned bass player, talks of her: "...sultry tone, expressive phrasing and total musicality_ the choice of many musicians 'in the know'.

Comfortable in all walks of musical life, Ms.Bogdanovi? is guaranteed to please." The composer's inspirations are a "mashed up, mix of different things from classical music to jazz - traditional and modern, singer-songwriter, indie, electronic, soul, neo-soul, r&b, and hip-hop".
