"A beautiful alchemy of music"
- Gail Serv, Buzzfeed
Eclectic, grounded and always surprising - that's how the extraordinary trademark sound of Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Ajay Mathur can be described. A musical cosmopolitan and smooth shifter between the stylistic worlds, the Swiss by choice with Indian roots now presents with his fifth longplayer "Talking Loud" probably one of the most multifaceted albums of the year!
Ajay Mathur does not allow himself to be pressed into any stylistic pigeonholes. The charismatic singer and musician fearlessly lives out his almost childlike joy of experimenting and exploring. A quality that earns him well-intended comparisons with legends like Jackson Browne, Bob Dylan, David Bowie, Tom Petty, Leonard Cohen or the Beatles.
"`Talking Loud` is my metaphor for self-confidence and self-esteem," Ajay says, exuding an artistic confidence and self-awareness that Ajay has already demonstrated on previous albums "A Matter Of Time" (2011), "Come See Conquer" (2013), the Grammy-nominated "9 to 3" (2015), and "Little Boat," released three and a half years ago, which was awarded "Germany's Best English-Language Album of 2018" by the German Pop Foundation. "Ajay Mathur has lived a life worthy of a motion picture," as Jonathan Frahm of the British-American magazine FOR FOLK'S SAKE accurately concludes.
