EPIC Tracks Vol.6: Alt-Rock/Indie #1

Malaysian-Indian singer Amirah unique new single release ‘Tell Me’..timeless quality and a search for meaning

 

Malaysian-Indian singer Amirah recently released her new single ‘Tell Me’.

Amirah delivers a unique sound, blending traditional elements such as tanbura, gamelan and tabla with modern pop production, giving her songs a timeless quality that allows her pacifist message to truly shine.

‘Tell Me’ is almost cinematic in scope with luscious live strings and modern pop drums. Originally composed in Malay, it explores faith, freedom, and the endless search for meaning for who we truly are as a people. As she explains ‘Let's unite for a world where we are all accepted for our differences, regardless of race, religion, culture, nationality, status, gender, or sexual orientation.’

Marty's review: "Tell Me" is a masterfully composed  song with strong and emotion laden lyrics that are woven around a musical backdrop of traditional world music elements blended with contemporary pop. Amirah's voice has a lush and breathtaking sound that is both stunning and sublime and allows her to deliver the message of this most important song with confidence and clarity.

Zorita release new track Calliope with amazing video...Bohemian meets African

Zorita are a raucous rousing rabble. The band’s bohemian music boasts an eclectic mix of instruments like organs, synths, trumpet and violin. In combination with bass, drums and guitars, as well as front man Carlos Zorita Diaz’ raw voice, this creates a completely unique sound. Blending influences from around the world into catchy pop songs, an evening with Zorita is guaranteed to breathe life into any party.

They recently released a new video for their single Calliope from their new album 'Aphrodite'. The song mixes African rhythms with indie-pop sounds. The video is a collage from 30's amateur video material shot in Kodachrome.
