Born in London and raised in Sydney, Australia, Susheela Raman's music reflects influences of her Tamil heritage, topped with jazz and blues, sprinkled with West African and traditional Indian percussion to create a sound that is melodically soothing to the soul. Your mind drifts as her lyrics both in Tamil and English (sometimes even French) take you to a far away place.
When you need to decompress or when life flips you upside down as it sometimes does- sit back and relax. Pop in her CD (yes, I know even this is becoming old school) or pop on your Ipod and take a journey through sounds, spanning cultures, languages and beauty.
Just because I adore Amel Larrieux and her style. This is her video "For Real" off her album Bravebird. She has been in the music game a while, and I always admired her for her free spirit and the originality that she brings to her music.Check her out! Plus, the lyrics to this song are beautiful.
Goapele has returned to us with another hot single, "Milk and Honey." I am loving her new sound and am looking forward to hearing more from her. Also, the braids are dope! Check out her new video!
I love Res! Her music and style are dope. Her musical style borrows from Rock, R&B, Reggae and much more...honestly she really cannot be placed. Many of her songs were co-written and produced by Santi White aka Santogold. I am waiting impatiently for another album from her!!! Come on Res!! This was her first release entitled "Golden Boy" from her 2001 album How I Do. Check it out!!
