Stirring a potion of magic and medicine, Ajeet is joined on her new single ‘Alive’ by songstresses Nessi Gomes and Peia

 

BOSTON & DUBLIN  –  August 23, 2022 - Ajeet’s latest single, ‘Alive’ weaves together the  three distinct powerful female voices of Ajeet, Nessi Gomes and Peia  into a unique and colorful tapestry of sound. This song is like the tingling sensation of life returning to an unused limb, subtle yet surprisingly intense. It is filled with gentle vocals, powerhouse harmonies and unabashed boldness, like the intertwining of sea, sky and fire.  A diverse  river of strings creates an undulating soundscape flowing under the vocals, including  bouzouki, ronroco, acoustic and electric guitars, upright bass, harp and fiddle. Sukhmani’s percussion creates a heartbeat rhythm that carries the song on calabash and brushes.  

Ajeet says “We didn’t hold back in this song’s invitation to taste life’s sweetness, to drink it dry… we sang as if howling for that freedom of heart.  Life is a gift, and this is our offering of gratitude for its intensity of color and feeling.  Drink it dry, loves!”
