| This Dewdrop World |
| Luscious Harmonies |
With a voice like dark honey, Suvarna's multi-layered sound is built on a foundation of Indian raga notes, with the addition of electronic percussion, Indian tabla and frame drum. Keyboard parts based on the ragas blend all together in a rich mix that is kind to Western ears.
Her third and latest release is This Dewdrop World (White Swan Records), and one of the sweetest tracks is What You Are to Me. Her first album, Fire of the Oracle, was nominated for World Album of the Year at the New Age Music Awards, and the opening track of This Dewdrop World, Heart of Tara, is included on Gabrielle Roth's latest compilation, Shakti. This is an excellent disc with luscious harmonies.

| This Dewdrop World |
| Compelling East-West Blend |
This Dewdrop World, the third album from vocalist Suvarna, is a compelling blend of Eastern raga tradition and Western rhythm and melody. The album, produced by Martyn Phillips, is sure to attract attention.
Using specific Indian mantras, Suvarna creates a complex vocal effect, layering it with her own rich harmonies. Charaiveti, Charaiveti is a stand-out track. It starts simply enough with guitar and Suvarna’s voice, then slowly builds, drawing in Eastern instrumentation and the backup vocals of Ravi (Suvarna’s brother) and Phillips.
The words, often used by Buddha after his daily sermon, mean, “Go on, go on! Never stop; become an eternal journey.” The eight-minute track surprises listeners and keeps them wanting more. Other great songs include Passion For The Ultimate; Deniz, which means “the sea” in Turkish; and Heart of Tara.
