South Indian melodies transmute into sublime English love songs, 18th century Tamil lyrics unfold over hypnotic, funky grooves — everything converges and intermingles, solidly delivering on the promise of Susheela Raman’s previous two critically-acclaimed albums. This strikingly soulful third album marks a coming of age for Raman as a British artist of real note, drawing on her heritage but making bold strides in distinctly original directions.

Born in London to Tamil parents and raised in Australia, Raman explores cultural identify with talented collaborators from around the globe — bassist Hilaire Penda, percussionist Djanuno Dabo, guitarist Sam Mills, tabla player Aref Durvesh, Check Tdjen Seck on Hammond organ, and several gifted young Carnatic musicians recorded during sessions in Madras.
 

«««« “A couple of tracks might be described as raga-rock, but MUSIC FOR CROCODILES is essentially an album of exquisite pop sung by a sultry, jazzed-up vixen who could eat Dido for breakfast.” — Uncut
