Free Music Notes for Human

Free Music Review: One of the albums of 2003
Hit: 5 Stars

With 'Beyond Skin', 'Prophesy' and now 'Human', Nitin Sawhney has produced a trilogy of albums based on faith, hope and trust and what it means to be a minority in a majority. The fraility of human emotion and the sheer stupidity aof the human species are themes that Sawhney also continues to explore.

The spare artwork (photo of human face and body parts pressed against thin white plastic sheet) is stunning and a bit of a giveaway as to the rawness of emotion on the album. In many ways it is similar to the artwork of the the breakthrough (and Mercury award winning) 'Beyond Skin' and similar themes are contained within.

The album is based on a mixture of Indian musical styles and instruments blended with trip-hop and electronica. In most ways it is gentle listening but lyrically challenging. If you are not familiar with some Indian styles it might take some getting used to but you'll find it well worth the effort. As with previous albums, Sawhney uses the vocal talents of an eclectic blend of MC's, vocalists and Indian/Asian voices to deliver his message. Whilst Natacha Atlas is the best known of those present in this album the other relative unknowns also deliver the goods.

The single 'Falling' is a ripper but perhaps the most straight forward of all the tracks. 'Say Hello' is a sleeping stunner - gets better and better. The latter half of the album is dominated by instrumentals blended with Indian vocals, radio samples and voal themes in English that is at time mezmerising. In all it's a seamless blend of work from front to back and well worth a listen. In fact you should own this despite the expense.

All in all this is a masterpiece of emotion and involves like few other albums this year. Id expect that this album should be well in the running for the Mercury Prize for 2003 too.

Human Poster

Sixth album from world fusion maestro follows 2001's 'Prophesy'. Forging ahead with his trademark collision of disparate styles including jazz, blues, soul, funk, Indian classical & drum 'n' bass, 'Human' showcases a deeper sense of spirituality & peace than before & features vocals by previously unknown young singers, most of them discovered by Sawhney himself. Includes the single 'Falling'. V2. 2003.
