Embrace

Product Information

On Embrace, Deva Premal expresses the ancient wisdom of mantra through a contemporary musical vision.Her radiant voice floats above a sensual Eastern groove provided by some of today's finest world fusion artists.

The high chanteuse of chant, Deva Premal is a pillar of originality in the grand garden of Indian music. You might say that she's to Sanskrit Mantras what Enya is to Celtic music. Her smooth soulful voice, which resides in the lower octaves, haunts the atmospheric, lightly rhythmic, ethereal soundscapes skillfully crafted by her partner Miten. Together they take listeners on a journey into the depths of the soul that doesn't forget to make a stop at the heart. The music's easy on the ears, spiritually provocative and contains enough mass appeal to make even those unfamiliar with Eastern music stir. Throw in a duet with Jai Uttal ("Om Ram Ramaya") and what you have here is one of the most intoxicating albums of Sanskrit chant available.
