An exquisite spiritual approach and vision seem to underpin this entire record. South Asian singer-songwriter Sammara is the cup of tea for any Bjork fan. The sounds of ritualistic soundscapes and tribal percussion will take you away to a misty, dreamy place.
Haro Street Records presents the new, break out release of the smooth, sophisticated, sultry, South Asian singer, Sammara. Often described as a compilation of Bjork, Peggy Lee, Sade, Esthero, and Portishead, every song leaves you with a dream–filled, intangible fragrance. Contributing to this exotic / erotic state is her rich palette of influences---everything from world music to jazz, to classical—all overlap, fade and congeal in a ambient, floating cloud of electronica. Surrounding the voice on every track are culturally dense, multi- referential arrangements, morphing trip-hop beats, and edgy, bitter-sweet harmonies. Let the music wash over you and take you to a place that’s at once uncomfortably foreign and still achingly familiar.
