Embrace finds this best-selling singer at the height of her art, expressing the ancient wisdom of mantra through a contemporary musical vision.

Deva Premal's gorgeous voice, rich and assured, floats above a cool, sensual groove provided by some of today's finest world fusion artists.

Produced by Miten and Kit Walker (Walela, Kitaro, Pagan Love Orchestra), Embrace features a rich, elegantly developed musical dynamic, due in large part to virtuoso performances by such top flight musicians as Jai Uttal (dotar and distinctive vocals), Kit Walker (keyboards, grand piano, Hammond B3), Nepali native Manose (bansuri), Miten (vocals, guitar), Ty Burhoe (a star prot?g? of Zakir Hussain) and Marquinho Brasil (assorted exotic hand percussion).

About the Artist
In contrast to the rock 'n' roll lifestyle of Miten, Deva Premal was raised in an atmosphere of mantra and spiritual discipline.

Born in N?rnberg, Germany in 1970 of a mystic/artist father and a musically talented mother, she was taught violin, piano and received voice training. By the time she was five years old, she was already chanting the Gayatri Mantra daily, and since that time she continues to integrate meditation into her life.

She has studied Shiatsu, Reflexology, CranioSacral Therapy and Massage, but music remains her first love. The influence of Indian classical music is evident in her singing, although she has never attempted to copy or steal from the tradition

. "It just comes naturally, as if I'd heard it all before, in another life."

Among the numerous letters of appreciation she has received since the release of her albums, many describe how her music has been used to accompany and enhance the sacred passages of birth and death. In fact, Elisabeth K?bler-Ross, the world famous author of On Death And Dying, requested that Miten and Deva bring their music to accompany her passing. "We have played for many people," says Deva, "but to play personally for Elizabeth was something I will never forget.?

Reviews of Embrace:



"The high chanteuse of chant, Deva, is a pillar of originality in the grand garden of Indian music. You might say she's to Sanskrit Mantras what Enya is to Celtic music. Her smooth soulful voice, which resides in the lower octaves, haunts atmospheric, lightly rhythmic, ethereal soundscapes skillfully crafted by her partner Miten.

"Together they take listeners on a journey into the depths of the soul that doesn't forget to stop at the heart. The music's easy on the ears, spiritually provocative and contains enough mass appeal to make even the yoga-phobic stir. Throw in a duet with Jai Uttal (Om Ram Ramaya) and you have an album that will get anyone's chakras in an uproar." ~ Music Design In Review

By chance (?) your latest CD was in my local new age store, Crystal Connection in Cork, Ireland, so I was able to listen to the lovely chant to Shi Tara; but the tracks Om Shri Bhagavati and Ranga De are just superb!

Your voice somehow turns compassion, kindness and forgiveness into a living force which cuts right to the heart; this force gives the listener a serious cuddle; it's not every day this happens and this I think accounts for the tears, and there were many for me! I think I really needed to cry: the sound of the Names of the gods seems to have that effect on me, and it felt good to let go of my feelings, whatever they were! Tears of Devotion to Truth?

I don't think I could listen whilst doing yoga, you are not suppposed to cry during yoga, right?

Thank you for another fine fusion of East and West, making dharma so accessible to the Westerner's ear - and heart.
Om Shri Mahakali Krim, Om Shri Maharani Krim.
