Kailasa-Kailash Kher

Kailash Kher

One s just experienced Kailasa, and one s inclined to agree with diminutive singer Kailash Kher when he says he s chosen that name for both, his debut album and the band he s formed, because it means Swarg, or Heaven. Forget about the play on his own name there could have been no better name for the place Kher s debut album takes you to on your very first listen. Some albums grow on you, but only a very few have the power at the first listen to lunge for your solar. And Kailasa, without doubt, belongs to the latter category, and definitely the best non-film album released so far this year. By far and a great, long distance. Soul Beauty and Power one wonders how one voice, and that too a rasping one, can be such a beautiful blend of perfection. Kher answers that on each and every track of this brilliant album. But before we get into individual tracks, get this: Kher is also an extremely competent lyricist, having written as many as 5 of the 8 songs on this album. With musician-singer-composers Paresh and Naresh completing the troika on Kailasa, the new band definitely seems equipped for long and popular career.
