We say

Nitin Sawhney's eighth studio album London Undersound was released last month to widespread acclaim. Observer Music Monthly made it their Album of the Month and Gavin Martin in The Mirror called it "an ambitious, beautiful album". An album of collaborations with artists like Paul McCartney, Anoushka Shankar, Imogen Heap and Tina Grace, it is intended as a response to the July 7 London bombings. That response is nowhere more powerful or articulate than on this track with Natty, the album's excellent opener. This has already had a lot of repeat plays at R1 on Bobby & Nihal, Zane Lowe and Colin Murray. Radio 2 and 6Music support has come from Janice Long and Tom Robinson, among others. An important album, brilliantly made. JF London gig: February 26, Shepherds Bush Empire W12
