Melodies in Slow Motion - The Album is yours today 🎧

For eight months, Sayee, Sumesh, Debjit and I shared the road across India. Long drives, small rooms, big stages, endless chai, and a country we got to see through each other's eyes. 🇮🇳

Everything we lived through slowly found its way into the music. At the end of the tour, we walked into River Studios in Chennai and poured it all into these ten tracks. 💿

You've already heard Waggle Dance and the Title track as singles. Now I'd love to know what you make of the rest:

🐝 Journey to the Nectar

🌌 Fireflies

🌍 Circadian, inspired by the cycles of day and night and our relationship with the turning of the earth

🌊 Mangroves, about the in-between spaces, part sea and part land

Freedom 🇮🇳

🦗 Cicadas, inspired by creatures that stay hidden for prime number years, 13 and 17, before they rise to mate. It builds into the driving percussion near the end of the album.

Will the record travel with you on a train journey? Play in your car? Accompany your morning yoga, or sit quietly in the background while you work? I'd love to hear where it finds you. 🎼

Streaming now on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music and wherever you find new music.

This is an independent release, so every share, save and comment truly helps. Please send it to a friend and tell me in the comments which track stayed with you. 🙏🏾

🇬🇧 UK family, we're bringing these melodies to the stage this November. Come and hear them live.

Transformations, Part 2/2

Music moves from one generation to the next, one artist to another, always finding new ways to live and breathe. 🎶

To carry a small part of that legacy forward makes me so proud. 🙏🏾
