Albany, GA (1888PressRelease) September 28, 2017 - Barson Huey, the debut album from Sanjo and Chandrani launched in New Delhi not too long ago, represents an encouraging trend being witnessed on the Indian music scene. Like the albums place out by Rabbi and Indian Ocean, Barson Huey is definitely an intensely acoustic album, rich with earthy instrumentation produced working with six and twelve string wood guitars. The songs themselves are refreshingly distinctive with memorable tunes and deep insightful lyrics. What's fortunately missing will be the regular bundle of tin-can techno rhythms, laptop or computer generated loops and also other synthesizer-based sounds that characterise substantially of pop music as of late.

The ten tracks on Barson Huey offer you a refreshing potpourri of brilliant song-writing, excellent melodies, complex arrangements and intricate instrumentation, rounded off with wonderful vocals and backing vocals. Although the album will inevitably be classified beneath the Indipop category, a additional precise description from the music could be fusion. This element of fusion comes in the blend of inherently Hindi songs with diverse Western influences ranging from pop, rock and nation to reggae, flamenco and salsa.

The artistes behind the album are Sanjo and Chandrani. Sanjo is, in impact, a one-man army. In the course of this project, he has worn lots of hats... virtually all the hats, really. He has composed the music and arranged it. He has played all of the musical instruments needed to create the songs come alive. Sanjo's oeuvre incorporates the six-string acoustic guitar, the twelve-string acoustic guitar, the electric guitar, bass, keyboards, flutes, harmonica, tabla, drums, bongos and several other percussion instruments. Then he has also sung the songs and supplied backing vocals inside a number of tracks. And rounded it off by supervising the studio production and mastering processes. It truly is this potential to close the loop that tends to make Sanjo the consummate musician he is.

His companion, Chandrani, is equally talented. A educated classical vocalist, she has a specific talent for writing sensitive, evocative, emotionally charged lyrics that add immense depth and which means towards the songs that she crafts. Due to the fact her childhood, Chandrani has usually had a lyrics-centric way of listening to songs. It really is the words that she focuses on initial. If these pass muster, the song as a entire gets a hearing. Otherwise she just passes it by. Her tastes are extremely well-defined -- she doesn't think in wasting time on stuff that she does not care for. And she applies this stringent, exacting yardstick to her personal songs also. She is her own worst critic.

Hence, as a lyricist, Chandrani demonstrates an admirable capacity to work with words as constructs for expressing tips and emotions powerfully and meaningfully. Songs just like the title track, Barson Huey, along with other folks like Sapno Ka Ek Shahar, Aanchal, Shayad Kabhi and her own favourite, Palkon Pe Tha, demonstrate this aptitude for creating the lyrics look sparse and deceptively easy, although the underlying conceptual framework is complicated and multi-layered.

Inside the studio, Chandrani is definitely an amazingly versatile vocalist, carrying out lead vocals, backing vocals too as harmonisations. She typically multi-tracks, harmonising with her personal voice, thereby offering both the lead vocals at the same time the backing vocals for some of the songs.

Chandrani is also the de facto Project Manager for the album. She is proactive and her managerial abilities are considerable. Sanjo recalls the several roadblocks the project hit along the way and says that without having Chandrani as a driving force, Barson Huey could never ever have occurred.

Interestingly, Chandrani initially joined the project having a pretty limited role -- as a singer; she was supposed to do the female vocals and also provide backing vocals. A colleague of Sanjo's, Gaurav was the lyricist around the project. Nonetheless, immediately after finishing just four songs, Gaurav (in his own words) faced a "personal tragedy" -- he got married! While there isn't any identified correlation among bachelorhood and song-writing skills, his marriage truly put paid to his role as a songwriter. That's when Chandrani stepped in to the lyricist's footwear -- really effortlessly, as a matter of truth -- and completed the remaining six songs. And as a result, Barson Huey stayed on track.
