The new singles from Ananda Xenia Shakti and Love Power the Band are an eclectic blend of spiritual sounds and contemporary beats. The first track, “Are You Looking For Me,” is a tantalizing dance track that burns with the energy of the divine quest. Inspired by 15th-century Indian mystic poet Kabir Das, the track embodies the human soul in search of the divine. The second track, “Hare Hare Dance,” is a joyous celebration of love and life, capturing the spirit of an ancient Krishna chant adapted into a contemporary dance track.
“Songs from Source” are a testament to the power of collaboration. The singles feature the combined efforts of Ananda Xenia Shakti and a team of talented musicians and producers. Band members Niranjan Gundu Singh on guitar, Marcos Alexander Ordoriez on bass, Shambhu Natha on percussion, and keyboard maestros Snappy Homefry Kipp and Pankaj Saakhi have worked harmoniously to give these songs their distinctive sound.
The track “Are You Looking For Me” unfolds like a mystery. The song starts with the poised vocals of Ananda Xenia Shakti, drawing listeners into a surreal space. Inspired by Kabir Das, the song channels the quest of the human soul. The sacrality is balanced by the modern beats, which provide a danceable rhythm. With the guitar, bass, percussion, and keyboard working in harmony, the music takes the listener on a journey of self-discovery. The track’s impact is profound. It’s not just a song but an experience that lingers long after the music fades.
“Hare Hare Dance” is an Uplifting Celebration of Love and Life. It’s a joyful track that captures the celebratory spirit of an ancient Krishna chant. The track was recorded in Vrindavan, India, marking the birthdays of both Ananda Xenia Shakti and Krishna. The session brimmed with joy and festivity. The track features Ananda’s ethereal vocals and the mesmerizing keyboard work of Pankaj Saakhi. With its roots in Bhakti yoga, the track draws on deep spiritual themes to create an experience that is both uplifting and meditative.
Ananda Xenia Shakti’s journey, from punk musician to spiritual artist, is something beyond the ordinary. She was a successful punk musician, leading an all-girl band, B-Girls. Touring with the Clash and providing live background vocals for Blondie, Ananda was a significant force in the punk scene. However, her spiritual awakening, fueled by the teachings of yoga, led her to pivot her career towards creating transformational music.
With this shift, Love Power The Band was born. The band is known for blurring the line between performer and audience, creating a space of collective creative expression. From the high-energy punk scene to the tranquil realm of spiritual music, Ananda’s journey has been nothing short of extraordinary.
As Ananda Xenia Shakti would say, ‘only love is real’. So, if you’re on a quest for spiritual awakening, let Love Power’s music guide you on your journey. Experience their enchanting sounds filled with love, unity, and divine wisdom, and let the healing power of music touch your soul.
With every beat and melody, Love Power embarks on a revolutionary journey. This journey transforms not only the listeners but also the music landscape itself, echoing with the sounds of love, unity, and divine wisdom. So, step into this new earth of music and let Love Power’s “Songs From Source” lead your way to healing and harmony.
