Sweetness, serenity and spirituality are the key ingredients in the music of Jaya Lakshmi. Her chanting is very organic, and blends perfectly with the uplifting melodies her music often encompasses. RADIANCE, the Steve Gordon produced follow-up to Lakshmi's top-selling album SUBLIME, lives up to the luminescent suggestions of its title, bathing the listener in peaceful, compassionate music with an abundance of heart and soul. This time around, she opts for a very textured sound that bears a multi-cultural edge. Former Lost at Last bandmate Deva Priyo brings his Spanish guitar (and sarod) skills to the table, which imparts the music with a subtle Mediterranean flavor. Vince McClellan's Native, Celtic and bansuri flute playing likewise adds color to the mix, as does the cello playing of Nishya Calkin-Godfrey. The result is another beautiful release from Lakshmi that continues show her glorious vocal skills. |
