Music reviews of Sings the Moola Mantra
Music Review: sweetsounding mantra-pop
Rating: 4 Stars
I think everyone who has had the pleasure of seeing the beautiful couple of Premal and her partner Miten in concert will agree, that they have a powerful radiation og joy and love from the stage. And that they transmit the silence of their master Osho.
So it's a shame that Premal's recordings are so relatively bland. If you listen to Indian recordings of mantras, f.ex. Ravi Shankar's excellent "Chants of India", you will here something far removed from Western aesthetics. Something ancient and timeless, raw and metrically refined, coming from the Beyond and speaking directly to the soul. Whereas Premal's version of the mantras are sweet and pleasing, but does not reflect their cosmic dimensions at all.
Her voice is pristine and angelic, and you should be very insensitive not to be touched by it's purity. But at the same time her vocal delivery is one-dimensional without hardly any dynamics (or finesse).
This time they have had the good idea of enlistning renowned producer Ben Leinbach, probably best known from his collaborations with Jai Uttal, with whom he had made some deep and mind-expanding records, fex. "Loveland". And he has added some much needed depth to Premal's music, though not as much as I would have liked.
It works best on the opening track, "Invocation", where Premal sings in classical Indian style, accompanied by deep electronics and sitar, showing how great a vocalist she actually is. But after that it is business as usual, the mantra sung to a pretty melodi over some rather lush backing. Sprinkled though with some fine soloing from some of the genres best musicians: Manose, Kit Walker, Benji Wertheimer, Uttal.
When you have sold more than 400.000 copies and are endorsed by so diverse icons as Dalai Lama, Eckhart Tolle and Cher, you obviously must be doing something right. And I can recommend this to anyone looking for some relaxing music with authentic spiritual content. I just wish Premal would leave the shallow waters and allow herself to dive deeper in the ocean of mantras and music
