Blue Fire Soul - Suzanne Sterling

Blue Fire Soul - Suzanne Sterling   When Suzanne Sterling sings mantras, she sings with an enormous amount of power and passion, not to mention a healthy bit of soul. Coupled with her invigorating background instrumentation, her chants intoxicate the listener and sweep them up in a whirlwind of spiritual ecstasy. On BLUE FIRE SOUL, the "Urban Priestess" conjures a fiery collection of vibrant mantras that were specifically designed to enhance yoga practice. The arrangements frame Sterling's voice in a lush collage of tabla beats, uplifting keyboards, guitar, bansuri flutes, and synth grooves, making for songs that would be equally at home in a trance dance context. The music bears an 'East meets West' flavor, mixing influences from both regions, as well as a variety of tempos (some slow and meditative, others aggressive and energetic) and a blend of acoustic and electric instrumentation.  1.
