Indo-soul recording artist Mira Veda will release her first single, “Captivated”, digitally on July 30th, 2010. The breathy, middle eastern inspired R&B and soul track is the first single off of Veda’s upcoming self released, sophomore album In Love Again due October 10, 2010. In Love Again, which was recorded in both India and the United States , is Veda’s follow up album to her 2003 debut Infinite Love.
The San Francisco based recording artist drew upon her Indian heritage to infuse her R&B and soul sound with traditional and modern Indian influences and spice. To create the unique sound and balance her international influences on “Captivated”, Veda wrote and recorded the single with producers Carvin Haggins and Ivan Barias from Karma Productions (Jill Scott, Will Smith, Jazmine Sullivan), in their Philadelphia studio.
“Working with Karma productions was a truly gratifying experience”, says Veda. “We set up in their studio in Philly and wrote and recorded every day, all day until we could achieve that certain magic, which I think came around midnight one night when we found that sexy blend of words, sound and rhythm”.
Other producers on In Love Again include Paula Gallitano (Dr. Dre, Lalah Hathaway, LL Cool J); Logan James, formerly from “American Idol” fame; Karsh Kale and Gaurav Raina, with who she recorded with in her native India ; and Mixman Shawn, an Indian Punjabi rapper and producer. Although the album has an eclectic mix of musical styles and collaborators, In Love Again is anchored in Veda’s R&B sensibilities.
“Captivated” is currently available digitally on iTunes, Amazon, eMusic, Shockhound and Zune among other digital retailers. Please visit www.mirasmusic.com for music, including “Captivated” and up to date tour schedule and information.
