Anji produced a special vlog for Happy Healthy Vegan showcasing many of the vegan food options at Disneyland’s California Adventure Park. Filmed over the course of several visits, the 10 minute video highlights a dozen different spots that feature plant based options including the new PYM Test Kitchen in Avengers Campus, the Magic Key Terrace, Dia de los Muertes specials at the Plaza de la Familia and much more. If you miss “the sexiest voice in podcasting” then you will really appreciate the dulcet tones of Anji’s voiceovers in this vlog. The video also features the classic song “Our Nights” by Lovespirals, Anji’s band with Ryan Lum, who is also the co-host of Happy Healthy Vegan, as well as Anji’s husband.
An official music video for the song “Spinning Circles” from our ‘Life Goes On’ album is out now on the Lovespirals YouTube channel.
Lovespirals “Spinning Circles” filmed and edited by Anji Bee.
Over the past 2-3 years I’ve been filming various scenes I thought would work well with the lyrical concept and I finally took the time to edit them together for this fun must video that contrasts black and white and super colorful scenes. The parasol scenes were shot on Laguna Beach during the performance of ‘The Shoreline Project’ by artist Elizabeth Turk. We had randomly been on site just as 1000 people converged for this performance piece, and it was quite surreal! The carousel and teacups ride scenes were both shot at Disneyland, and the stupa scene was shot at Maui Dharma Center in Paia.
Hope this video makes you smile!

To celebrate the start of a new year, I put together a music video for the title track of our Lovespirals album, “Life Goes On,” featuring some of the more peaceful moments I filmed over the past 12 tumultuous months.
Lovespirals are featured on a new album. “Tim Where Are You Now?” by Sam Rosenthal of Black Tape for a Blue Girl was created to honor what would have been the 100th birthday of Tim Leary this month. It’s a collaborative album packed full of special guests including Lovespirals’ Anji Bee and Ryan Lum (on tracks 6 & 8). “PSY PHI love means High Fidelity” pulls vocal inspiration from the original Star Trek series theme song, and musical inspiration from the classic exotica lounge albums of that same era. This song also features special guests Byron Metcalf and Martin Bowes. The CD is available on Bandcamp, where you can opt to purchase a digital download on the “Name Your Price” deal (meaning you can pay $0 if you want…), and it’s also available to stream on all digital platforms, including Apple Music, Spotify, and YouTube.
I am super proud to present the latest Lovespirals song!
Lovespirals “Why Not Today?” Music Video
Extremely chill vibes with super smooth production, “Why Not Today?” pulls from from Lovespirals’ r&b/soul side with a little jazz and blues twist. Melancholic, dreamy, and filled with soft yearning for a better time and place, the video is a lovely reminder of the healing power of nature, even in this time of human disconnection and unease. I created the music video, as well as wrote the lyrics, performed the vocals, and aided in the songwriting and production.
"Why Not Today" from Lovespirals 'Smile - Single' 2022
When does the happiness begin
When does the love come flooding in
When does the pain fade away
Will it be tomorrow
Why not today
Why not today
When will my grey skies turn to blue
When will I take on a different hue
When will the sun come out to play again
Will it be tomorrow
Why not today
Why not today
I’ve waited patiently (patiently)
But I have yet to see (yet to see)
Joy wing its way to me
So I’m left wondering
Will it be tomorrow
Why not today
Why not today
NOTE: This song was originally released July 3, 2020 as a single and music video on Bandcamp and YouTube. Many listeners asked us to add “Why Not Today” to Spotify and Apple Music so we included a new mixdown in our 2022 single.
The Lovespirals Mixcloud account now features episode 31 of Behind The Lyric. Anji Bee discussed both the lyrical back story behind her Lovespirals‘ song “This Truth”. She also talked about how the chart-topping Damien.S VS Lovespirals remix single came to be released by Loverush Digital in 2010. Listen in the player below!
The Chillin’ with Lovespirals band podcast makes another return! We have so much news to share this episode, including our new album charting pretty heavily, which is super fun.

We really hope you dig hearing/watching us talk about music because we have lots more stories to share about the making of the album and what inspires us to create!

Lovespirals have a new collaboration with San Francisco band, Karmacoda out now. B invited Anji and her partner, Ryan Lum, to remix a track from their 2018 album, Intimate. “My Love” featuring the band’s new vocalist Jessica Ford, was the perfect fit for Lovespirals’ chill downtempo vibes. Jessica’s deeper vocal range makes an interesting contrast to Anji’s breathily ethereal backing vocals and Ryan’s production added a compelling dreaminess to the song.
Karmacoda Revealed (Intimate Remixes) is available on all digital platforms now.
You can now read, transcribe, or notate lyrics by Anji Bee on the popular music site Genius. Her lyrics with Lovespirals are also available on the site, as well as some of her collaborations with other artists, such as Karmacoda and The Grooveblaster.
