SONGS OF RESILIENCE

Songs of Resilience is a crossover album by singer-songwriter Simrit. The Greek-born artist raised in the United States has composed a set of song that bring together devotional poetry and music influenced by Greek orthodox chants, Indian mantras, American folk-rock, pop, American Indian chants, West African, various other world traditions, and dreamy electronics.

Although her musical arrangements are varied, her vocal style has a trance-like ability, using repetitive techniques found in Indian mantras.

Highlights are the folk-rock song “Prithvi Hai; the ethereal mantra “Pavan Guru”; and the beautiful kora and cello-infused “Ad such” and “Nana.”

Although many of Samrit’s followers practice yoga, Songs of Resilience’s captivating vocals should appeal to a wider audience.
