Nitin Sawhney performing "Sunset" on KCRW

[@pauljurgen-romrig9616]

The three best live gigs I’ve ever been to were Nitin Sawhney the first time, Nitin Sawhney the second time, and Nitin Sawhney the third time.

[@lewisdaly5547]

So true, I went to the Royal Albert Hall during the prophesy tour. Quite the profound experience.

[@pauljurgen-romrig9616]

@@lewisdaly5547 Profound is the perfect word to describe the experience.

[@SueLeigh-j8x]

YES! It doesn't get better than this! 🤍

[@MrAnils21]

Her voice could stop wars. Pure and beautiful. Simply stunning.

[@jhonmenezes4120]

Anil Sharma one of a kind . I he a it everyday and get enlightened .its a soul singing in the form of niki

[@gabybeckers6125]

Its all about frequency

[@TheAudibleSun]

Word!

[@001prk]

She should sing for Russia then to stop war against Ukraine.

[@yllfare]

Best comment

[@spiritzen]

Her Bengali accent and tone is impressive, great impersonation and the switch back to English is flawless.

[@edesborbala233]

The name of the singer: Nicki Wells. The composer and guitarist is Nitin Sawhney.

[@lawrencedoliveiro9104]

Presumably she doesn’t speak Bangla. But her phonetic mastery of the words is amazing--to my ears, anyway.

[@Elixear]

Absolutely. Fisrt time ever I hear a white singer with this natural indian tone and pronunciation.

[@surmayi3946]

She goes by the name Turya as well , you can find more vids & music under that name too xx

[@iamreallyright]

Very considerate, thank you. Nicki deserves all plaudits.

[@skrach1000]

Surmayi no that’s her twin sister “Tanya Wells” who also sings in very similar style, easy mistake tho

[@stephenkeye2678]

Prophecy! One of my favorite albums in history. Seriously, listen to the entire album.

[@petrholusa5855]

I believe that UK is a place when great artist meet each other and make absolutely fantastic music. Every music I love comes from this country. Beatles, Portishead, Massive attack, man you name it.

[@bartpickford1836]

I'm British and music from this island excites me and is the one thing which makes me unreservedly proud of our society. Radiohead, Razorlight, Idlewild, Imogen heap, Chvrches, Rae Morris, Izzy bizu, Tom odell, bonobo..... I love it all. Thanks for such a nice comment about where I come from. BTW, Raye is our latest musical genius.... check out her Mercury music prize performance, recently 🎉

[@returnoftheluddites]

You should check out Pleasurefields from the U.K. of the best unknown bands if you like this style and the Beatles they are a hidden gem 💎 only release on bandcamp and they give most of their music away for free they just released with Future Sounds Of London last night in their labels bandcamp Pleasure Wax Records

[@annabrown7485]

That 'white' is singing in your language because she is a composer of Indian classical music. She composed the score for Tanika Gupta's theatrical adaptation of Charles Dickens' 'Great Expectations', receiving critical acclaim. She has performed with Nitin Swahney in venues such as the Royal Albert Hall, The Royal Opera House and Sadlers Wells. If you understood the function of music you would know that its a celebration of humanity, a creative inclusive process and expression.

[@ZungaBungalunga]

Anna Brown I love you👍

[@thegreattrun]

Were people hating in the comments?

[@unitalianonelcaribeluomopi3198]

I couldn't put it any more accurately myself!

[@interqward1]

We British whites are Indo-Dravidian dear. And we use Tamilian alphabets. It's who we are. Besides which EVERYONE KNOWS the English (or was it the Scots) invented Karahi. lol Although frankly, you have a point re the celebration of the world - which is why 'OUR English' should still be a living language and take everything into its flowing river; phone-glish prolly even more so. I note they all still speak English in Star Trek 'the Very Far Future' episodes. Even Harry Kim speaks English. Goddammit even that Borg '7 of goddamn 9' speaks it!

[@donnysingh3534]

She is brilliant!!!

[@martinjohncameron]

Nicki Wells has such a beautiful voice. I'm so glad other people gave her a credit; it saved me a search elsewhere. Cannot fathom why it was not in the original post.

[@oa5341]

even after all these years I get goosebumps all over with this song.

[@amymanley9875]

Perhaps my all time favorite track from Nitin Sawhney. Nicki Wells is AMAZING!

[@twofishrocks]

Mine too. I was 19 when this was release, heady days of my youth, care free and full of love

[@montybrewster7]

Here i am in july of 2023 & 11 years later i've still not heard a better vocal than nikki we''s' performance here. It remains absolutely stunning. Thnaks kcrw.

[@davidjleyland]

Nicki although I can accept Nitin may have composed and created the piece your amazing voice should certainly have got a mention in the description! Stunning vocals!

[@moshiyazee3034]

i got moved by those Bengali lyrics so much .... & thts how powerful your creativity is whn u being a girl from other country writing lyric in Bengali and moving a born Bengali .... Hats Off ......

[@lordosaya]

excellent song, but the vocals... just WOW... absolute perfection!

[@yogenpayyar5696]

FULL RESPECT. NICKI AND NITIN. DON'T STOP YOUR COLLABORATION

[@TheAudibleSun]

One of my favourite pieces of the universe.

[@TWICKS]

Translation: If I were suddenly to pause; to set beyond the horizon as dusk arrives, At last, in the bed of boundless night, I would fall asleep with the sun.

[@taracheng345]

TWICKS breathtaking indeed!

[@surmayi3946]

Beautiful 💕

[@sabinkstudio]

What is the original language, is it Bengali?

[@neurocracker6416]

Yes it's bengali​@@sabinkstudio

[@getthoseskills4451]

What a divine British talent. Big shout from the US. This album really got me into Nitin Sawhney and other UK trip hop and experimental acts like Portishead, Unkle, Sneaker Pimps, Four Tet, Burial, Bonobo, Tricky, Allflaws

[@liljujuworld]

Nicki wells you make this song perfect - Nitin Thank you for composing such an amazing track... Timeless!

[@josephxavier5328]

Took 10 years to find this amazing piece of work🥰

[@rajsavraj1106]

This doesn’t get the credit it deserves. Breathtaking

[@eekamoose]

I don't get many pivotal moments listening to music any more because there is so much copycat audio fast food about, but this performance was an eye-opener. It's absolutely phenomenal - how come it took 7 years for me to discover it?

[@Daahlya]

I keep coming back to this song for years now and it never gets old. Sometimes I listen to it on repeat for hours. Just sublime voice, music, everything about it!

[@ПигляСвантесон]

I can't listen something else after this song! Just sitting in the silence, smiling❤

[@moniquevanoosterhout6101]

Thank you Nitin, Nicki and the fabulous tabla player. I found you today and I feel pure-ly blessed!

[@jahpreast]

I love this video. Nitin Sawhney and Nicki Wells and this amazing tabla player are doing some piece of real magic. I'm enjoying it so much :):):) thank you !!!

[@barishatowhid7423]

The Bangla chorus is breathtaking

[@lebheidenstrm5392]

+basu kashyap whatever it is it's sounding mighty fine in my ear. :O)

[@barbarathomas2508]

Barisha I wish you would translate the Bangla chorus. I've listened to this song so many time I can sing it in Bangla but I don't know what I'm saying.

[@scottscott232]

Fantastic. I love this. Nitin has been producing first class musical material for a long time. Love the music, and his his guest's amazing voice.

[@whuhay]

nice to see a natural human

[@carlpearce8336]

Hard to believe it’s live it’s so beautiful

[@tnightwolf]

"Discovered" this song because a friend of mine had an amazing chillout cd..."Ministry of Sound - Chillout sessions vol.3" I must say...this version?! Fkn brilliant!!!!!!

With Nitin, who always chooses extraordinary musicians and singers, we live moments of grace .... Out of time .... Thank you from the bottom of the heart.

[@lavenderfae8585]

Always loved this track and her voice is simply stunning. So incredibly talented 😍

[@andyhatfield1071]

such a complete performance. The singer improves on the studio performance... love it when that happens :D

[@CucharadaYT]

One of my favourite youtube gems. Amazing! I always found this song quite bland, but this performance makes it incredible.

[@LeighWinspear]

Goosebumps every damn time.......................amazing..............................;)

[@spejspig]

Beautiful! I discovered this song years ago, and it was on repeat for a month, and after a month, I was at the Exit music festival in Serbia. Nitin Sawney was lined up to start with this song, at sunset. It was a perfect experience, old fortress, summer evening, great mood, beautiful people, heavenly music...I was so lucky to be there! This studio performance is just as amazing in its simplicity and beauty.

[@smokhaay]

Incredible singer. So authentic and soulful.

[@r0ckbass]

omg a singer NOT trying to sound like lorde/lana del ray/adele and singing words with stupid pronunciations and tones that aren't at all natural. amazing tune, wonderful singer!

[@basukashyapapc]

+rockbass hahaha what do you mean by words with stupid pronunciation and tones that aren't at all natural??

[@lebheidenstrm5392]

+basu kashyap rokbass means warbling like a strangled canary. ;o)

[@r0ckbass]

+Leb Heidenstrøm this guy gets it.

[@oa5341]

it is sanskrit, old india language, very natural language

[@dutisyedaashfahtoaha2928]

The other language is BANGLA precisely.
