Deva ("Deva" is a Hindu title for divine) Premal has attracted a following by framing ancient Hindu mantras within atmospheric, contemporary settings. The result on Embrace, her third release, is at times flavorful, at other times undistinguished, but it produces more intriguing moments than duds. On occasion, Premal aspires to Enya-like reverence (e.g., tracks 2 and 4), then elsewhere coos her ancient text atop gentle grooves and jazzy flutes (tracks 3 and 6) in a manner suggestive of Deep Forest. Some might describe it as "smooth chant." Highlights include "Shree Ram Jai Ram," a beautifully realized cross-pollination of East and West (highlighted by Kit Walker's free-floating piano and Premal's resonant choir of voices) that hints at what Joni Mitchell might create if she tried her hand at Eastern music. --Terry Wood
Album Description
EMBRACE, the long awaited new album from Deva Premal, finds this best-selling singer at the height of her art, expressing the ancient wisdom of mantra through a contemporary musical vision. Her radiant voice, richer and more assured than ever before, floats above a cool, sensual groove provided by some of today's finest world fusion artists and producers Miten and Kit Walker (Walela, Kitaro, Neal Schon). Deva Premal enthralled audiences worldwide with THE ESSENCE and LOVE IS SPACE. That phenomenal success continues with EMBRACE. Its relaxed, uplifting feel and elegant sense of space can only heighten the spell already cast by this mantra enchantress. "Majestic, deep and full of love," Deva Premal's EMBRACE is a lovely and moving next chapter from an artist whose incredible potential is only beginning to unfold.
Album Description
Deva Premal's Embrace expands on the Eastern Indian fusion and ethereal vocals of her previous work, combining timeless mantras with contemporary arrangements. Innocent, soothing and laid-back. Features 8 tracks of sensual music for yoga, packaged in a slipcase. White Swan. 2004.

 Music That Carries You Away September 18, 2008
Crystal M. Grimaldi (Florida)
From the fist few notes of Om Namo Bhagavate, I immediatly fell in love with Devas' music. Her voice is heavenly and no matter how my day has been or where I am in life, when I play this cd I instantly feel at peace. If you want a beautiful cd to relax to and that truely helps center you, mind, body, and soul.... then I would highly recommend this cd as well as all of her others.

I listened to this when I was in labor with my son. It is very soothing. I also use it when I teach. Students love it. Very calming.

John Jay Jacobs (Eustis, FL)
Deva Premal brings life and soul to the mantras in "Embrace". Unlike so many mantra CDs, her musical interpretation is just as appropriate for meditation and yoga as it is for general listening.
All I can describe as my response to this CD is Joy.

I love both CDs I have by her. Unique combo of chant and pop. Great voice, great tunes, delivered in a soothing, calming way. Just sounds good, relaxing.
Wonderful music October 28, 2007
C. Sienkiewicz (Bloomsburg, PA, USA)
This CD has a perfect blend of faster and slower songs. The mantras are very traditional yet with a modern feel. I am happy to hear some buddhist mantras! Great CD for the price.
