Antrik Aatma - Shaia's First Album!

Shaia's first album is called Antrik Aatma and features Shaia's twelve most popular tracks.

Antrik Aatma is a Hindi phrase meaning "Inner Soul". This name best embodies the spiritual themes which underlie many of Shaia's tracks. Shaia's tracks generally have a chilled out vibe, even though they are frequently fast paced and driven by Shaia's trademark bass-heavy world beats.

Antrik Aatma is an inspirational, eclectic mix of tracks, ranging from soulful, ethnically influenced ballads to pumping electro-inspired tunes. Chris Stapelberg's original compositions are enhanced by instrumental and vocal samples recorded in India and Thailand, as well as sampled ethnic instruments from Chris Stapelberg's personal collection. The album features lyrics by lead vocalists Kuljit Singh and Roshan Singh, as well as backing vocals by Candice Espenschied and traditional ethnic chants by Chris Stapelberg. Anne Marie Forrest, a talented jazz and folk singer, has contributed lead vocals on "I Will Find You" and backing vocals on "Mun Na Digay", "Mantra" and "Kehee Dhoor".
