The genre of devotional music within what is loosely called the New Age music genre has seen a steady growth in the last few years, this year particularly so, but the quality of musicianship, tone, timbre and heart felt energies seem to be increasing week by week, another fine example of that comes from Rachel McGarry and her brand new single entitled Beloved.

The song itself is inspired by both Radha and Krishna and is a beautiful voyage not only of self-discovery, but of love itself, the biggest motivator in our lives. Here McGarry’s textured vocals weave a pathway of tenderness and honesty throughout all six minutes plus of this quite outstanding opus.

The piece itself is deeply emotional and one can feel that through the structure of the composition, the lyrics, but more so the amazing vocals of the artist, I can still hear my favourite line from the song run through the meadows of my mind “Dance with me in a field of flowers” simply exquisite and utterly beautiful.

The musicianship and performances by Chris Gartner (bass & percussion) and Jason Fowler (guitar) it must be said were exceptional, and I haven’t enjoyed music from this genre as much as I have this song since Deva Premal gave us The Essence in 2001. This is a guaranteed hot hit for the charts, and a manifestation that is likely to resonate in a timeless musical fashion for many years to come, simply exceptional indeed.
