Setting the tone with pulsing drums, a compressed sitar and cerebral textures with vocal add libs, Ajay Mathur opens Talking Loud with the assertive and situational lyrics, “Drive, drive, talking loud cos nobody here’s you when you’re high…”
The opus expands into a genre expansive energy, which has elements of art rock, classic Indian and futuristic electronica as Ajay Mathur takes us on a subversive journey with introspective and thought-provoking lyricism.
We appreciate the Switzerland-based artist’s enigmatic approach and the charisma with his vocal performance, combined with the dynamic and robust soundscape that he has created as a foundation for his message to self-reflection and empowerment.
Talking Loud comes with a pop-up style music video, created by Mertcan Mertbilek, which features a magnetic performance from the established artist, as he conveys his profound and unique message.
We love the vocal harmonies from Antonia Gasser, which add dimensionality to the empowering piece, and the presence of Samuel Blättler on trumpet, and Rolf Ambauen on saxophone really bring up the energy, amplifying Ajay Mathur‘s ability to translate his intention with vigour and character!
We are here for the authenticity that Ajay Mathur shares with his art, and have added Talking Loud to our New Music Spotlight playlist, whilst we continue to stream his wider discography, including the remix and the album of the same name!
