| Rahu is the debut release by Sharada Shashidhar on Leaving Records. |
| Shashidhar, a lifelong vocalist and musician, is currently pursuing a |
| degree in jazz voice. The songs on Rahu were recorded over the last |
| four years between Los Angeles and New York, in a constant |
| collaborative exchange with rising producer and Stones Throw Records |
| artist Jamael Dean. |
| |
| The music of Rahu is arresting, an unforgettable introduction to |
| Sharada's compelling voice and songwriting. Her elaborate harmonies |
| and vocal creativity come together in brief yet powerful songs that |
| explore universal themes of inner and outer exploration. |
| |
| Opening track "Messages" sets the contemplative yet focused tone of |
| Rahu. Sharada says, "There were a lot of things that were being told |
| to me, new things, things that I realized through experience that I |
| just wanted to write down. And I would say that is kind of consistent |
| with a lot of my songs. I kind of take on this alter ego ... somebody |
| who knows a lot more than me. That tells me what's up sometimes. Just |
| communicating with myself, communicating with my past and present and |
| future self ... kind of knowing through experience, passing that |
| knowledge on, forward, upward." |
| |
| "Rotate" is one of Rahu's most uplifting tracks, a futuristic and |
| soulful paean inspired by an impactful stay at an Ayurvedic center in |
| India. Sharada says, "I was very appreciative of being there. It was |
| just so beautiful ... kind of very remote and removed from |
| everything. They had their own farm, growing things themselves, and |
| they were just some of the most loving people I had ever met." |
| |
| Album closer "Vexed" marries a frantic, glitchy piano with soul |
| searching lyrics. Sharada states, "it was just about dealing with |
| people, how to kind of see past our differences and come to a common |
| ground. And kind of transcend the physical bodies that we have and be |
| more in tune with the interconnectedness of everyone and everything." |
| |
| Produced by Jira ><. |
| Mastered by Matthewdavid. |
