CHAPTER III: WE RETURN TO LIGHT AND 'DAYBREAK' ARE NOMINATED FOR GRAMMYS!
🤯🫠

I’m beyond grateful to have received my 12th & 13th noms. For these two to be alongside the incredible Alam Khan and Sarathy Korwar, with whom I made this music, makes it all the sweeter.

A favourite raga of mine from the vaults.

Bhairavi is traditionally a morning raga, but in forms like Sindhi Bhairavi it often wanders into looser, more romantic, late-night moods. I often turn to it in moments of sadness or melancholy, and find it always carries me through.

This Prom began as wish.

It’s been an incredible journey - one that led me (eventually!) to the @royalalberthall.bsky.social with London Contemporary Orchestra and Robert Ames, where we performed all three albums from start to finish.

‘Chapter III: We Return To Light’ has been out in the world for less than a week, and what a ride it’s been!

I’m so proud of the path all three mini-albums take, and hope you can feel within them the emotional core of the haiku their titles come together to create 🧡

I can hardly believe it: ‘Chapter III: We Return To Light’ is finally yours 🌅

I hope you can listen to each Chapter and hear the sentiment of the haiku I formed with each title—

𝑭𝒐𝒓𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓, 𝑭𝒐𝒓 𝑵𝒐𝒘
𝑯𝒐𝒘 𝑫𝒂𝒓𝒌 𝑰𝒕 𝑰𝒔 𝑩𝒆𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝑫𝒂𝒘𝒏
𝑾𝒆 𝑹𝒆𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒏 𝑻𝒐 𝑳𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕
