Product Description
From Amazon.com
Deva Premal, a vocalist born "Jolantha Fries" in Germany, prefers to be known by her acquired name; "Deva" is a Hindu title for divine. She has attracted a following by framing ancient Hindu mantras within atmospheric, contemporary settings. The result on Embrace, her third release, is at times flavorful, at other times undistinguished, but it produces more intriguing moments than duds. On occasion, Premal aspires to Enya-like reverence (e.g., tracks 2 and 4), then elsewhere coos her ancient text atop gentle grooves and jazzy flutes (tracks 3 and 6) in a manner suggestive of Deep Forest. Some might describe it as "smooth chant." Highlights include "Shree Ram Jai Ram," a beautifully realized cross-pollination of East and West (highlighted by Kit Walker's free-floating piano and Premal's resonant choir of voices) that hints at what Joni Mitchell might create if she tried her hand at Eastern music. --Terry Wood
Gabrielle Roth, Raven Records
This is the music of earth angels, sublime and transcendent, divine longing in every note. Listen with your third ear!

Nothing transcendant about Deva Premal...,
By
This review is from: Embrace (Audio CD)
If you like music to relax to or read a good book to, then this album might be appropriate. However,for music that would be useful for meditation or trance work, this or any album by Deva Premal I would not recommend. Her songs are repetitive and uninspiring. And given the album covers and pretense of mantra chanting, this is not ethnic to say the least. I'd recommend Russill Paul's yoga cd's instead.

Heartfelt Healing Music,
This review is from: Embrace (Audio CD)
I first became aware of Deva Premal's "Embrace" in my Yoga class and finally went out and recently got a copy of this CD.This music combines Mantras with eclectic music which draws from many styles. Deva Premal has one of the most incredibly beautiful and sincere voices I've ever heard and I find that this music truly reaches inside my heart and elevates my spirits. It's wonderful music not only to practice yoga with but to hear at any time. I can't recommend this CD highly enough, it is a truly wonderful gift of music and I am looking forward to getting more of her CDs. Namaste

Terrific music - Deva's voice is so fluid and enjoyable. I sing along all the time - especially love the last song that just touches me at the core. I wish I had a translation for the indian words. Overall, I can listen to this cd over and over.
