Music reviews of Embrace
Music Review: Deva's voice speaks to the inner spirit
Rating: 5 Stars
I have listened to this CD hundreds of times over the past 5 years and never tire of it. It is amazing how Deva's voice and musical arrangements speak to the inner spirit--bringing peace, harmony, and balance to life. This is the primary purpose in the repetition of the Sanskrit chants. I use several of Deva's songs when I teach yoga classes. "Om Namo Bhagavate" is perfect to use for svasana (relaxation pose). "Shree Ram Jai Ram" and "Rang De" are playful. My Yoga students have also become fans of Deva. I love to listen to the CD as I drive. If drivers listened to Deva, there wouldn't be any road rage! Any feelings of disharmony quickly dissipate as I sing along with Deva. The purity of her voice is unlike anything I've ever heard. I first became acquainted with her music when I happened to get free tickets to her concert. Her concert transformed me and I became a devoted fan. This CD is the next best thing to being at her concert.
Description of Embrace
EMBRACE, the long awaited new album from Deva Premal, finds this best-selling singer at the height of her art, expressing the ancient wisdom of mantra through a contemporary musical vision. Her radiant voice, richer and more assured than ever before, floats above a cool, sensual groove provided by some of today's finest world fusion artists and producers Miten and Kit Walker (Walela, Kitaro, Neal Schon).Deva Premal enthralled audiences worldwide with THE ESSENCE and LOVE IS SPACE. That phenomenal success continues with EMBRACE. Its relaxed, uplifting feel and elegant sense of space can only heighten the spell already cast by this mantra enchantress.
"Majestic, deep and full of love," Deva Premal's EMBRACE is a lovely and moving next chapter from an artist whose incredible potential is only beginning to unfold.
Deva ("Deva" is a Hindu title for divine) Premal has attracted a following by framing ancient Hindu mantras within atmospheric, contemporary settings. The result on Embrace, her third release, is at times flavorful, at other times undistinguished, but it produces more intriguing moments than duds. On occasion, Premal aspires to Enya-like reverence (e.g., tracks 2 and 4), then elsewhere coos her ancient text atop gentle grooves and jazzy flutes (tracks 3 and 6) in a manner suggestive of Deep Forest. Some might describe it as "smooth chant." Highlights include "Shree Ram Jai Ram," a beautifully realized cross-pollination of East and West (highlighted by Kit Walker's free-floating piano and Premal's resonant choir of voices) that hints at what Joni Mitchell might create if she tried her hand at Eastern music. --Terry Wood
