About Me |
|
| Even in its most intense registers, Farheen's voice rises like a deep, easy breath. She curls each breath around each lyric, as if the truth of her words demand such warmth before it will be unveiled. As if her songs were soundtracks she wrote for her dreams – almost too intimate to engage until we realize that we, her listeners, are very much part of that dream. Farheen’s lush, jazz-inspired vocals resonate with a remarkable range of rhythmic movements thriving in Toronto. Tabla or dhol, djembe or dj – Farheen's music manifests her soulful reverence for the global hypnotic power of the drum. In an era where so-called “global fusion” too often suggests a played-out, sample-happy pastiche of contrived beats, Farheen’s music seeks a much more subtle, more mutually-enriching engagement with the rhythms that pattern her compositions. Farheen’s lyrics, even in their most fiercely focused fury, are invitations to join her in introspection, and action. Her music awakens our consciences, not simply to the awareness of injustice, but also to the possibility of hope. - Gurbir Jolly - |
