Melbourne singer-songwriter Parmy Dhillon takes listeners on a deeply personal journey with the tribute single ‘India’. On his latest release, Dhillon delivers highly emotive, deeply personal lyrics with impeccably controlled but powerful vocals.
Given the music over an arrangement that blends complex Indian instrumentation with grandiose, melodically expansive sections that hint at a global folk influence, Dhillon shares the personal narrative behind the song’s conception. Composed after a loss that left a deep scar, “India” shows the master artist yearning to regain the essence of his nationality at a time of reminiscence through the power of harmonies and beats. Already garnering critical praise and a dedicated fan base through several albums and EPs since first coming out of Australia with his genuine world music fusion, Dhillon proves yet again his ability to create outlets for emotional release through music. The single thus helps translate the artist’s own story into a powerful message for anyone coping with loss or severed connection to roots.
Rendered with respect and executed live with instrumentation, coupled with Dhillon’s sincere and unadulterated vocal performance, “India” transports the listener into a vivid and well-crafted lamentation. Its mood is nostalgic, the dreamlike narrative transforms one man’s personal and heartfelt experience into a universal message of hope, recovery and restored ethnic pride in the face of uncertainty. Here, Dhillon uses his music to find deeper connections with others and inspire personal growth and healing through the power of sharing emotions. In the present “India” this virtuosic artist composes one of the most profound and heartfelt homages to the redeeming force of music.
