Electric Sufi’s debut album ‘Breathe In Love’ marks a ground-breaking mix between electronica and Asian infusion in bid to draw attention towards ongoing climate crises. As a widespread, worldwide problem, the theme of climate change is something that will unite listeners across the globe, with a universal relatability. The result? A masterful demonstration of uplifting World Music.
The presence of traditional Asian instruments helps to set atmospheric and serene soundscapes in motion, despite the serious topic at the forefront of the album.
‘Breathe In Love’ marks an intercultural fusion between ancient and modern music, resulting in an innovative sound with distinctly unique qualities. The lead single “O Ignis Spiritus’ takes historic influence from a St. Hildegarde Christian chant, which is over 8 centuries old. A new approach is taken to this element of historicism through the enchanting vocals of Sarah Yaseen, who offers a modern interpretation of this chant. With these endless collaborations between the old and the new, ‘Breathe In Love’ is definitely an album you won’t forget any time soon.
