She takes the simplicity of kirtans and expands them into complex and moody arrangements. “I start singing the prayer instead of speaking it." This spirituality led to recording of this album. “The tunes pop into my head in the prayer room," says Kaur, explaining her process. When we had these jam sessions, it was like CPR for soul." She made home recordings of the melodies and music that she heard in her mind while doing prayers. “My parents would tell us stories that would keep us strong and motivated. “We'd sit after dinner, and my brothers and sisters and I would sing and play tabla and harmonium.
It's so deep and beautiful." She is a devout Sikh, and her music flows from the songs and sacred stories her family shared as she was growing up in Australia. You're singing the most beautiful love letters to God. “When I discovered kirtan as a girl, it was a different feeling from any other music I had known," reflects Kaur in her press release. The album features contributions from tabla and electronica pioneer Talvin Singh, as well as Western and Indian classical performers including Rakhesh Chaurasia on bansuri/flute and Jyostna Srikanth on violin. The music is gently flowing, layered, and touched with drone and chants that are hallmarks of kirtans. Manika Kaur has a comforting voice that she unfurls when singing Sikh kirtans (spirituals and prayers).
