Ana Popovic has established herself as a musical powerhouse since picking up a guitar at age fifteen in her native home of Serbia. Her newest project, Dance To The Rhythm, is sure to follow in her list of successful recordings. Popovic was introduced to the blues at a young age by her father. She then traveled to the Netherlands to study jazz guitar and, shortly after, recorded her first solo album. She later moved to the United States, living in Memphis for a while before landing in California. The rest is, as we say, history. She has a long list of album releases, music award nominations and wins, and a formidable reputation as a first-class guitarist, vocalist, and writer.
Dance To The Rhythm is appropriately titled, as it is packed full of danceable tunes and great guitar work. Recorded on Electric Heel Records at Kona Town Recording Studio in Redondo Beach, California, the album is a ten-song offering of great music from an exceptional talent. Ana Popovic wrote, or co-wrote, every tune on this project except for a Paul Simon classic. A mix of R&B, blues, soul, rock, funk, and Latin-influenced styles and sounds, this album is sure to please even the most critical listener.
Kicking off Dance To The Rhythm is the title track, “Dance To The Rhythm.” Reminiscent of the disco era, it’s difficult to stay still while listening to this one. Popovic sings, “I’m gonna dance all the way to the finish line.” There is also a great guitar break in this song that showcases her playing proficiency. Make no mistake, Ana Popovic can play. “50 Ways To Leave Your Lover,” the Paul Simon cover, is one of my favorites on this album. Maybe I’m just dating myself a little, but for someone to interpret such a great tune is bold, and Popovic pulls it off by doing an outstanding job. There’s more of her great guitar work on this song as well. Slowing down Dance To The Rhythm just a little is “Dwell On The Feeling.” The song appears at a point that almost establishes a resting spot for a few minutes so that you can catch your breath. “I want to dwell on the feeling of you,” sings Popovic. This is a more sensitive approach by her, but still provides a taste of what she is really known for, great guitar playing. “Sisters And Brothers” is the final cut on this recording. “Let’s love each other, through the pain. Sisters and brothers, there’s no shame.” What a great, positive statement for the times we’re living in. “Let’s love each other.” It is a fitting conclusion for the album.
Ana Popovic continues to hammer out excellent music with each album she records, and that doesn’t seem likely to change any time soon. Her guitar playing and energy may be best appreciated in a live concert setting, but her recordings are also superb and tastefully done. She continues to tour in the United States, with at least one upcoming European appearance scheduled.
