That’s exactly what we get with her new single Liberate. Using both English and Ancient Sanskrit in her philosophical lyrics, she urges us to dwell on our shared human experience through a dream-like and introspective track that pairs percussive notes with soulful vocals. The arrangement builds nicely before arriving at a meditative crescendo.

Radhika is an award-winning multi-instrumentalist and sensory artist who has reached fans across the world. She has the honour of calling herself the first ever mantra artist at SXSW. There’s certainly something striking about her sound and I’m sure we’ll be sharing more of her music soon.

Liberate is out now and you can check out its intimate video below.
