Traces of You

After the great success of her DG debut Traveller (4779363), Anoushka Shankar returns with another outstanding recording: Traces of You, featuring three new songs with her half-sister, Norah JonesTraces of You developed from the notion that everything in the universe leaves an indelible mark – or a subtle trace – on everything it encounters. Inspired by her relationships, multicultural upbringing and global career, Anoushka traces a journey of love, change and lossProduced by British composer and multi-instrumentalist Nitin Sawhney, Traces of You features contributions by Anoushka’s longtime associates, tabla genius Tanmoy Bose, flutist Ravichandra Kulur, and percussion wizard Pirashanna Thevarajah. Other highlights are the collaboration with Norah Jones, and explorations of the unique sound of the Hang drum, played by its foremost exponent, Manu DelagoTraces of You draws on Indian classical ragas, Western classical string arrangements, mid-20th century-style lyrics of extended poetry and modern soundscapes. Anoushka finds modern and fresh ways to reinterpret and keep alive Indian musical traditions learned from her father, the legendary Ravi ShankarTracklisting: 1.The Sun Won't Set featuring Norah Jones2.Flight3.Indian Summer4.Maya 5.Lasya 6.Fathers7.Metamorphosis 8.In Jyoti's Name 9.Monsoon 10.Traces Of You featuring Norah Jones 11.River Pulse 12.Chasing Shadows13.Unsaid featuring Norah Jones
