Future

Track taken from the album "Moonsung: A Real World Retrospective".  This album is now available as part of the Real World Gold series - http://realworldrecords.com/gold/

Starting off with a reprise of Ever So Lonely, the Top 20 pop hit she had as a teenager with her band Monsoon, Moonsung gathers together the finest moments from the three albums that Anglo-Indian singer Sheila Chandra made for Real World in the 1990s. And this compilation confirms what an under-rated artist she truly is. Singular in vision and open-eared in her musical exploration, Chandra is also in possession of a thing of great wonder – a voice that’s weightless and supremely graceful.

his was Sheila Chandra's Real World debut, first unveiled back in 1993. For Sheila, it's always been all about the voice. What musical backing there is on Weaving My Ancestors' Voices is kept to a minimum, allowing those vocals to travel largely unaccompanied.
