Description
The long-awaited album from the stunning British-Asian vocalist Najma, seamlessly blends the musical traditions of the east with western pop sensibilities. Najma's melodic vocals soar above a collage of mesmerising beats and synth sounds to create akaleidscope of sound and colour, evoking a full range of moods and emotions. "Vivid" is the result of Najma's collaboration with film composer Richard Grassby-Lewis who provided the full aural soundscape to Najma's own lyrics and melodies.The release of Najma's debut album "Qareeb" in 87' created a storm with its groundbreaking fusion of sounds of the Indian sub-continent and western pop and she swiftly became an essential figure on the European world music scene. She has since released 4 albums and become an essential figure on the world music scene. She can also be heard on collaborations with Robert Plant, Jah Wobble, Apache Indian and Philip Glass.
