about

On The Essence, Deva Premal is backed by ambient grooves, subtle electronica and hand percussion, as her transcendent vocals induce ecstatic contemplation. The Gayatri Mantra, the world's oldest known mantra for purification and healing, is the centerpiece for this truly meditative album.

As Deva Premal’s first release, The Essence lit a musical fire whose white hot flame continues to burn. This Chant Music perennial top seller has sold over nearly one million copies worldwide.
