Love Holding Love
Paul Hollman and I had worked together for six years, creating WAH! Savasana CDs, Jai Jai Jai, English songs for the Amma benefit CD (Embrace), performing and touring together. But we had never really collaborated or written any music together. Paul composed music for commercials and film. I wrote lyrics and books, and magazine articles. We wanted something that would deepen our creative experience together...

Reviews:
Music Design Magazine/Milwaukee, WI Wah! is an artist that likes to challenge the chant music status quo. Her albums are a testament to her explorative spirit, offering everything from straightforward devotional chant to spiritual folk to full on pop music. LOVE HOLDING LOVE takes her sound in yet another direction; in this case dance and lounge music. One one hand, you have songs like Hanuman and Ma Chant (Kali) where the grooves are full of floor-blazing energy and pure vocal joy. On the other you have songs like Girl in the Video, Brazil and Maha Deva, where the vibe is mellow and deeply chillded, while Wah!'s voice takes on a soul/R&B tinge... This is certainly one of the most successful marriages of Sanskrit chant and club culture to date. Oct/Nov 2008

LOVE HOLDING LOVE
WAH!:
Wah! began her musical journey when she took a college course on raga; melodic modes used for Indian classical chant. This led to her exploration of classical, world, jazz and reggae music as well as the performing arts. Today her music draws from both current trends and ancient kirtan chants, creating upbeat interpretations infused with pop, reggae and folk melodies. If you have taken a yoga class in the last five years, you have no doubt heard her music and her indisputably unique, sultry voice. Captivating audiences around the world, Wah! performs more than 100 dates a year throughout Europe, North America, Japan and Australia, while her acclaimed solo albums include Jai Jai Jai and Savasana. With Love Holding Love, Wah! reinvents the genre of kirtan chant through her amazing synthesis of Sade-like chilled sounds blended with ancient traditional Sanskrit mantras. Her mesmerising, hypnotic voice creates a bridge between ancient, meditative tones towards the contemporary, ecstatic sound of western culture.
