A SOUND HEART
Jaubi unveil their highly anticipated sophmore album, A Sound Heart, with a sound that resonates on a deep level, defying boundaries & connecting the universe. Inspired by a verse from the Holy Qur'an (26:89), A Sound Heart explores the concept of a spiritually healthy & content heart, rooted in love and sincerity.
The record is centred around the concept of love, and its various forms - be it love for a partner, family or even for oneself. Each side of the album tries to capture different stages of this primal emotion. Side A represents “Desire”, with one yearning and craving for passion. Side B represents “Devotion”, contemplative and heartfelt, signifying when one is vulnerable and has the sophistication to look inwards and manifest a purified, sound heart.
Here, meditative ragas blend seamlessly with Herbie Hancock-esque motifs, contemporary melodies intertwine with the sounds of the sarangi, & the earthy rhythms of the tabla. A Sound Heart features long time collaborators Tenderlonious & Latarnik as well as members from the wider collective, Horatio Luna, Nick Walters and Tim Carnegie.
The album will be released on 6th September 2024 on Riaz Records.
