Wunderschön. Das Lied kam mir eben vor wie ein wohltuendes Bad.

In this third installment of the Planet Earth Studio Session by Dana Shanti, Water gives us the rarest of opportunities - a dance in the rain with our inner child. The magical combination of a simple change of weather, paired with the brooding of a storm, can provide a unique sense of wonder. Likewise, Shanti sonically evokes feelings of youthful playfulness and spontaneity, alongside our more intimate sense of vulnerability, offering us a journey downstream of deep and intoxicating reflection.

As strong as the currents in a churning river, Water holds a ship-sure groove that carries its listeners from the very first key all the way down to the last drop of the journey. In wonderful storytelling fashion, Shanti paints a picture of a passerby caught in the rain. Running for cover, but childishly enjoying the mad dash to safety, she exquisitely parallels the human epic of life’s little adventures. Like seeing the universe in a grain of sand, or seeing your soul in a drop of water, this song is your beacon of light on a cloudy day.

Berlin-based singer/songwriter, Dana Shanti, is a product of a bygone era wherein her country quaked in the shadow of the Berlin Wall. It was behind this wall that she was taught early to create that which she couldn’t otherwise obtain. This lesson spurred her to try her hand at music composition via a variety of instruments, pre-production of her own work, choreography, and both filming and film editing. 

Steeped in nuance and subtlety, her music stands as anti-pop made for the patient, discerning ear and has been described by one of her collaborative partners as “a terrific slow burn”. As the artist self-explains “The music of my favorite artists and main influences -- Stevie Wonder, Joni Mitchell, Billie Holiday, Nina Simone, Sade, Erykah Badu, and Tracy Chapman -- is what one would get if they turned a healthy, home cooked meal of organic food and pumpkin coconut soup into sound. I count myself as an artist in what I hope is a similar vein.”
