Deva Premal
Password
Sounds True
Deva is an incredible kirtan vocalist with a pop-music side that is still
steeped in the yogic traditions that made her popular years ago. Together with
Manose, a Nepalese bansuri flute master and her partner, Miten, who is a
vocalist and guitarist, Deva knows how to create inspirational and meditative
music that is quite pleasing. The music contains a variety of instruments,
including slide guitar, bass, piano, cello, keyboards, drums, congas, bata, and
various guitars. The backing vocals on “Sri Nanda-Nandanastakam” are especially
inviting. At any rate, fans of Deva’s previous work on Dakshina in 2005 may notice a bit of a departure. Still, the music
may not be completely traditional kirtan, but its contemporary feel is what
makes Password shine. ~ Matthew Forss
