Etani ♥: Music Crush: Imany

About three weeks ago, I opened my letter box to find a suspicious package labelled with the 'La Poste' logo (French royal mail).
I inspected the padded envelope and saw that it had been sent by my dear friend Fabrice. I eagerly ripped it open and to my great surprise and joy found, wrapped in a child-size white Ralph Lauren polo shirt, the album of Imany, the Franco-Comoran singer/songwriter (the shirt was obviously for his Godchild, my daughter).

Born in France from Comoran parents, Nadia Mladjao aka Imany began her career as a model after being discovered by a fashion scout when she was 19-years-old. She spent the following 7 years in New York walking the catwalk before deciding to come back to her country of birth in 2008 to pursue her true dream: singing.

Her first album, The Shape of a Broken Heart, is filled with beautiful and soulful songs that will give you goose pumps and fill your eyes with tears every time you listen to it.
