We all know that Kailash Kher is an artiste with a difference - a unique voice, a unique delivery and a unique stage presence. His solo performances are rocking. Now combine that with a band called Kailasa - a group of highly-skilled musicians hand-picked by Kailash himself. And you have an awesome sound!
When you listen to this album, forget all those tags. Sufi, Sufi-rock, Sufi-pop, Indipop, etc. This is pure music - melodic, enchanting, mellifluous and soothing. Yes, there are elements of the Divine permeating all the songs but in its essence, Kailasa is powerful, dynamic and moving. Kailash Kher’s full-throated voice is used to maximum effect all across the album. In the vocals department, Kailash Kher never disappoints.
It is also to Kher’s credit that in spite of playback singing engagements, concert commitments and hectic recording schedules, he still finds the time to work with a band to create a tight, edgy sound that will echo in your mind long after you have finished listening to this album.
Do your heart, your spirit. and your ears a favour - listen to Kailasa.
