TRACKS
Deva Premal continues to entrance listeners with her rich, velvety voice on Dakshina, another album of intensely beautiful mantras and chants from the popular songstress. Staying true to form, each track seems to literally flow into the next, as Premal's voice is bathed in a mystical atmosphere of harmonium, light tabla beats, synthesizer ambiance, and other regional instruments.
"Music Design In Review," May/June 2005 It (the album) begins with the contemplative, somewhat mournful, and simply produced Om Hraum before expanding in scope with the richer harmonies and instrumentation of Om Namah Shivaya. Other tracks like Homage To Krishna and Guru Rinpoche Mantra slowly and beautifully blend dreamy ambiences with rich, ultra-soulful vocal textures. The sweet taste of India abounds in the instrumentation throughout, making this a geographic as well as inner spiritual journey." Jonathan Widran, All Music Guide
