A Spiritual Exploration of Lord Shiva
“Kashi to Kailash” is a five-track EP that takes an in-depth look into Raja Kumari’s spiritual journey and worship of Lord Shiva. The album’s release, strategically timed with the auspicious occasion of Maha Shivratri, reflects a profound sense of reverence and faith.
The EP is meant to blend the old with the new by bringing traditional chants and mantras to offer a fresh hip-hop and electronic interpretation.”
Each track showcases a masterful combination of verses from Sanskrit, powerful Vedic chants, and the vocally dynamic Raja Kumari. While not merely a collection of songs, this album offers a meditative experience invoking the divine whilst retaining the hits, quite contemporary in quality.
Bridging Tradition with Modernity
Both bold in experimentation and fearless in challenging the conventions of DHH, Kumari is a force to be reckoned with. She has made a mark with “Kashi to Kailash,” where ancient Indian shlokas and kirtans have been brought into mainstream music. Her attention to detail, especially in maintaining accurate Sanskrit pronunciations, is commendable.
According to her, “When you say the words correctly, it’s completely different energy,” and this energy runs through the EP.
The combination of traditional Indian instruments along with trap beats, heavy basslines, and electronic synths forms a sonic landscape that feels both ageless and contemporary.
The narratives under Raja Kumari drive a potent lyrical narrative of devotion, inherent strength, and spiritual awakening; her music is, in effect, a message of perseverance and faith to the audience.
