The album by Indian Ocean also plays host to an eclectic mix of collaborators such as Grammy Award-winning percussionist Vikku Vinayakram, storyteller Varun Grover and American saxophonist George Brooks, bringing to life striking lyrics and intriguing compositions.
Rahul Ram, bass guitarist and vocalist of Indian Ocean, states, “The album is spiritual and contemplative and a transformative expedition that has been in the works for many years. We completed the production in 2019, but there was an unfortunate pandemic outbreak and we had to rethink our plans.” He continued, “During the lockdown, the importance of how we need to cooperate and coexist with nature became such a glaring hard truth and that if we give nature a chance, it will recuperate.”
Rahul added: “This album is a tribute to that universal thought as well as a friendly reminder to all of humanity to make sustainably wise choices that are not just fodder for your outer appearances but also a haven for your inner temple. We are just very grateful and happy that we can finally hit the road and take this album to different parts of the country over the next few months with the Tu Hai India Tour.”
The album Tu Hai by the Indian Ocean arrives on May 5.
