Ananda Xenia Shakti and Love Power the Band link two worlds, and "The Perfumed Garden," her new release, takes you to a place where devotion, embodiment, and everyday life come together. This pop-inspired piece is a planned time to remember that honors life, healing, and awareness.
People know Shakti for her unique ability to combine ecstatic dance, mantra, and embodied devotion with the strong spirit of her punk roots. And this has given her a voice as an artist that is hard to describe, as "The Perfumed Garden" makes sense as the next step in that line of thought.
The song softly but firmly tells us that divine union is always there, all around us, and always there, even though we may not see it because of how we live. "The Perfumed Garden" conveys the subtle, vibrant essence of unity that lies beneath the surface of everyday life. The song's emotional heart is about the idea that people should stop doing the same things every day and pay more attention.
Shakti wrote the song while in India, where she went on a retreat with Baul singers from Bengal, and the work was greatly influenced by this mystical group of traveling devotional artists. People knew them for how much they cared about the union of Krishna and Radha, and they see devotion as something you do and experience, not just a philosophy.
Love Power the Band provides Shakti with a strong yet broad musical foundation to build on, helping her vision come to life with a clear goal. The pop framework shifts from a barrier to a channel, allowing themes of celebration, reverence, and awakening to flow through while remaining easy to understand. "The Perfumed Garden" is more of a presentation than a show, and it tells people to relax, listen, and remember that what they want is already there, waiting for them to find it.
