Love Trap
When the time came to start work on "Love Trap", I was convinced of the need to capture some of that energy and spontaneity and, accordingly, these new recordings have a very live feel. Working again with Sam Mills as producer, and with Stuart Bruce as sound guru, we recorded the body of the album in the wonderful ambience of El Cortijo studios in Southern Spain. It was pure pleasure to witness the versatility of all the musicians bringing their energy and inspiration to these songs. The repertoire is as mixed before; there is more exploration of the Carnatic repertoire with several songs composed in Sanskrit and Telegu. The last song is a Tiruvachakam, an earlier form of hymn to Shiva, written in Tamil."Ye Meera Divanapan Hai" was originally sung by Mukesh in the 1960 Hindi film "Yehudi". "Sakhi Maro" is a devotional song by the sixteenth century female mystic Meera.
