Anoushka Shankar / Alam Khan / Sarathy Korwar: Chapter III: We Return to Light EP
Briefly

Anoushka Shankar's latest project, a trilogy of mini-albums, marks a departure from her usual structured approach to music. Each album is inspired by a different location she's called home and explores complex emotions through varied soundscapes. The albums reflect a day-night cycle, with Chapter I confronting trauma, Chapter II offering introspection during darkness, and Chapter III symbolizing renewal and hope. Despite the risk of taking a less structured path, Shankar delivered her most emotionally resonant work yet, united by themes of resilience and healing.
The trilogy of mini-albums showcases Anoushka Shankar's stylistic innovation, exploring personal trauma through distinct soundscapes while defining an emotional journey from darkness to light.
Shankar's approach to recording without a fixed direction reflects a risk-taking mentality, ultimately leading to her most emotionally resonant work yet.
