Label: Sangeeta Kaur Music
Ascension
- Niguma Vol. 2 The Mantra Project is one of the more interesting and compelling
music projects I have had the opportunity to hear this year.
An excerpt from the artist website reads:
Who is
Lady Niguma and in these modern times, why should we care? With grace and
powered by an awe-inspiring production, Sangeeta and her company of yogi &
yogini artists extraordinarily provide an answer of inspiration.
This will give the potential listeners some insight into
what this music is about. If you want to learn all the details I highly
recommend visiting the artist website.
Based on what I garnered from the CD booklet there is quite a musical
production that accompanies this music and it looks fantastic.
In most cases I do not favor music in any other language
than English because I really want to understand what the artist is singing
about. I did my due diligence and got a better idea while listening and after
the music stopped. This was a different perspective I fell into and instantly
while taking in this recording. I was pleasantly surprised with how it made me
feel.
Sangeeta has a gorgeous angelic voice that melts into your
soul and hangs on tight. This album was so different and refreshing that I
sincerely enjoyed every track. Some of the music is prolific and larger than
life. The resounding drum beats and layers of instruments intertwine into an
audible journey of divinity. This women’s voice ranges from silky smooth to
operatic dependent on the pace and movements in each track. There is never a
time where I felt disinterested, it was quite the opposite actually. I was
wondering what was coming next.
If
focus brought on by the light of the human spirit is what you seek you shall
find it on this recording. If you happen to enjoy it as much as I did, it will
be over before you know. This is comparable to doing a task you love and time
becomes irrelevant. And it should be in this case because what you receive from
Ascension -
Niguma Vol. 2 The Mantra Project, is a new focal point filled with positive
vibrations. This music will soothe your soul and clear your mind. I say that
with conviction. I can see now how this music was set to the stage with all the
dance, yoga movements and the colors brought to life. An audience would simply be mesmerized. This
is beauty in motion with words and music ...
