Sheila Chandra is an early pioneer of the
British Indipop music scene and one of the most recognized, best-selling
world music artists. ROOTS AND WINGS was written after her four
year sabbatical and, only in her mid-twenties, showcases Chandra's
extraordinary and heightened sense of music - of its function and form,
depth and mystery.
The highly anticipated re-issue of Sheila Chandra's groundbreaking recording (1990), ROOTS AND WINGS contains the seeds of her distinctive a cappela/solo voice style which dominates her work on Real World Records. It is the second of Chandra's five Indipop label recordings proudly re-issued by Narada World. "ROOTS AND WINGS was written and recorded in two and a half months after a four and a half year sabbatical which I began when I was twenty. During the sabbatical, I had, for the first time, a space in which I could start to question and systematically undo some of the expectations, thought patterns and reflections that had been coming at me from the media and my family since I had entered the world of professional work at the age of thirteen. I wanted to make sure that every thought I had or every truth I knew was truly my own. I started to think very seriously about
what constitutes an artist, not only in terms of skill and imagination,
but also in terms of mastery of the self and mental independence.
I started then to think consciously about the nature of creativity
itself and about from where it originates."
