This
is my introduction to Larisa Stow & Shakti Tribe. After a seven-year wait,
we have There Is A Light That Will Remain.
I am not familiar with the back catalog of this artist but judging from this
album, it is likely I would enjoy exploring it.
This may be one of the few new age albums I have ever heard
that rocks. It is very rare but it does happen on occasion. It is not an album
for rockers though, the term in this light has an entirely different meaning.
Let me say it is unique and nothing like I have ever heard before. When you
listen to “Maha Mantra” you will come to understand what I am trying to say.
Larisa Stow has a very powerful voice, one that would be
well suited for a rock band actually. But I do not want to misguide all the
readers, this is definitely a new age world recording that is very spiritual
and uplifting. It is actually what I love about music and a recording in the
new age genre. There is an entire list of all the positives I could go through.
There are many tracks that stood out. “Aham Prema” is a
highly energetic and colorful track that typifies what you will hear on this
album. The track that just lifted me right out my chair was “There Is A Field,”
which is the poetry of Rumi. It is like hearing all the best of the new age,
world and rock weaved into one track.
I know it is early in the year but There Is A Light That Will Remain is one of the most exciting
releases I have heard this year and honestly, do not expect to hear anything
like it again. It is that unique and exceptional. A recording like this I would
hesitate to put into any category per se, it is like they create their own
genre, which is quite impressive.
Fair warning, you will have waves of complete joy and
satisfaction while listening to There Is
A Light That Will Remain. Not only will the light remain, but the music
will also leave an indelible mark upon your soul. I do think that is the
intention of the artist, it is about being whole, spiritual and evolving into
the being you were meant to be. We all cannot do that without being true to
ourselves, pure and spiritual in our hearts. This music is a guiding tool to
help you get there or enhance where you are or where you are going. If that
makes any sense to those of you on any kind of spiritual journey, then great, I
have made my point.
I can imagine there are several tracks that would be a
great kick off songs on playlists and radios shows around the world. If you
have a beating heart and a soul you will love There Is A Light That Will Remain.
