Nitin Sawhney - London Undersound
Review by Andrew Bryk
London Undersound is a captivating and immersive album by Nitin Sawhney that takes listeners on a journey through the diverse and vibrant sounds of the city. With its eclectic mix of genres, including electronica, jazz, and Indian classical music, the album showcases Sawhney's exceptional talent for blending different styles and creating a unique sonic landscape.
The album features collaborations with a range of talented artists, including Paul McCartney, Natty, and Anoushka Shankar, adding further depth and richness to the music. Each track tells a story, whether it's the haunting vocals of Ojos de Brujo on "Shadowland" or the pulsing beats of "Days of Fire" featuring Natty.
London Undersound is not just a musical journey but also a celebration of the city's cultural diversity and the experiences of those who call it home. It's an album that demands to be listened to from start to finish, with each track building on the last to create a cohesive and unforgettable listening experience.

It's not the first time I hear this song.. But today is not any random day. Today I finally understand what is it like, to don't know what the future and is going to be..
Please, let's feel happiness right here and right now!

I had to use this song for a drama performance about 7/7 and I loved the song so much and I've been searching for it and now I've found it?x

@MikeldigraSkyStrider I would give it a progressive jazz genre tag with a little hint of modern day indie, but that's a stretch. I don't know why the hell someone would tell you it's electronic because I only hear an acoustic guitar, acoustic drums, a piano, and an egg shaker.

this is the first Imgoen Heap track I have heard.

I love this song, this song introduced me to Nitin Sawney, I love both of their music!

@kayteegirl33 If you're familiar with both, it's most clear that this is largely Nitin's song. I like both.
