‘Clones’ marks our point of entry into Akshara’s ethereal, eclectic aural universe. A sonic fever-dream emboldened by the Indian-American songstress’s tender, hypnotic vocals, the piece is taken from the overarching EP of the same name, a six-track effort that showcases all of the boundary-pushing, otherworldly artistry enjoyed by the Los Angeles-based talent. Moving with cinematic flair and honest songwriting, the record is a joy to listen to, an elegant slice of escapism delivered with gentle, fringe pop tones and cathartic allure.
Deeply influenced by Akshara’s Indian roots, ‘CLONES’ often borders on World music, with luscious traditional melodies giving the EP a unique musical fingerprint. Delving deeper into the ethos behind her work, Akshara explains: “With my EP CLONES, I wanted to explore the many versions of myself that exist at once – the parts that conflict, overlap, and ultimately find peace together. It’s about learning to love every version, even the ones that don’t make sense yet.”
