Nilam

Description

Born in New York and raised in Tamil Nadu, the singer and trans-disciplinary artist GANAVYA — "among the most compelling singers in modern music," according to the Wall Street Journal — has announced details of her new album, Nilam. It follows Daughter Of A Temple, Gilles Peterson's album of the year, also ranked among the top 10 world albums of 2024 by The Guardian, which praised GANAVYA's ability to harness "the power of collective harmony to touch something deeper than the song."Co-produced by Nils Frahm at the LEITER Studio in Berlin's Funkhaus complex, the new album by "the singer whose work," according to the New York Times, "feels like a prayer... listeners hanging on every word" will be released by LEITER on vinyl.Its silence is so astonishing, its emotional communication so profound, that it feels as if it was always meant to exist. A celebration of the bonds that unite us, and likely the most tender music we will hear this year, it is intimate and sincere, a poignant expression of gratitude for the blessings that keep us grounded, if only we recognize and welcome them.
