Singapore-based Arun Shenoy is a Grammy Award-nominated artist, songwriter and producer who’s made a significant impact in the world of music with his varied and genre-bending compositions. Known globally for his solo productions in world and jazz music, he’s also won acclaim as a member of the star-studded modern jazz supergroup, The Groove Project.
His career is marked by critical acclaim and creative spirit, with his musical output spanning a huge range of different genres and styles. Arun first made his mark on the music scene in 2010 with his debut EP, Sol and since then, he’s released an impressive catalog of music, including singles, albums, and remixes, often collaborating with a wide range of artists.
This year, he’s turned his focus to the electronic genres of downtempo, trance and house, blending these styles with virtuoso performances by leading musicians to create a unique and progressive sound. Additionally, he’s also preparing for the release of a smooth jazz album titled Elemental II in collaboration with Matthew Shell, set to drop this summer.
Arun Shenoy’s latest single, “A Higher State of Bliss,” is a follow-up to his 2013 epic world fusion track “Bliss.” This new release showcases Shenoy’s ability to fuse various musical elements into a cohesive and exciting soundscape. Produced in a downtempo EDM format, “A Higher State of Bliss” features the blazing bansuri flute alongside other live virtuoso performances, offering a genre-bending experience that is both soothing and invigorating.
Setting an intense sonic scene from the very start, vibrant vocal layers are met with the patter of percussion as the bright stabs of synths ride the swell of energy before the track jumps into a pulsating electronic dance soundscape. Driven by the punch of the snapping beat and capped by the elegant flutter of flute leads, “A Higher State Of Bliss” crafts a thrilling dance music ride that pairs infectious rhythms with colourful arrangement to deliver an Eastern-inflected listening experience unlike anything else.
With the lively vocal elements and moody synth textures converging above the propulsive beats, the track shines with pure sonic energy and piquant melodic writing all wrapped up in epic sound design. It’s a gripping sound that sees Arun Shenoy showcase the electronic side of his sonic vision in spectacular fashion.
