"Love Is Space is an invitation to celebrate the wonder of life on our beautiful Planet Earth. Deva Premal sings with such simplicity and grace that clearly reflects the deep connection she has to the material. Through her the heart quality of the mantras is enhanced and highlighted, creating a CD of sacred music at its finest.

"With this second release, Deva has quickly and firmly established herself as a sensational female vocalist. Her tones have crystalline clarity, captivating power, and a delicacy that plays on the heartstrings of loving devotion. A host of Deva's friends, all accomplished artists, contribute to the instrumental beauty while maintaining an acute sensitivity to Deva's voice. Guests include Jai Uttal on dotar, bamboo flute, harmonium and kartols; Kit Walker on keyboard: Deva's devoted partner Miten, adding vocal harmonies and flavorful guitar accompaniment.
"In expressing the essence of love, devotion, wisdom and consciousness, Deva has drawn upon traditional songs from India to Tibet to tribal Nigeria. Love Is Space reflects Deva's extraordinary understanding not only of the musical essence of these different traditions but also of the spiritual message in the mantras they contain." |

"German-born Deva Premal shares her fabulous voice with sacred Sanskrit mantras. A stellar cast of musicians including the amazing Jai Uttal, Miten and Kit Walker, contribute acoustic grand piano, keyboards, guitar, flute and percussion. Deva chose the title Love Is Space - also her personal mantra - to remind us that love has no barriers or boundaries.
"While most of the seven tracks are Hindu mantras, she included Om Mani Padme Hum, a Tibetan mantra, that progresses with passionate joy. Idé Weré Weré comes from the Yoruba people of Nigeria and is dedicated to Ochun, the goddess of love. Liner notes provide all lyrics in both the original language and English, which really helps listeners enjoy the album. One of the finest chant albums of 2000, Love Is Space is a rare gift indeed." |
