And Now He Has Wings is sonic poetry embodying life’s most profound triumphs and tragedies through intricate, vivid folk soundscapes.
Soulful folk singer-songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Ram Dass delivers a collection of five strikingly emotional tracks on his upcoming EP, And Now He Has Wings, out 3 December. The artist is in the midst of his return to the commercial music community following the success of his 2014 collaboration, ‘From Within,’ with Nirinjan Kaur and Matthew Schoening which premiered at #1 on the Apple New Age Music charts. And Now He Has Wings is a deeply personal project that captures the raw emotions inherent to life’s most impactful moments of beauty and pain; ultimately, it vulnerably details Ram Dass’ experience processing the grief and recovery following the loss of his newborn son. Several of the songs on this EP were recorded in collaboration with the band AWARÉ. Hypnotic, stripped production speaks to the soul of listeners on every track. The artist – with a background primarily as a producer and studio musician – masterfully weaves harmony capturing the emotional intricacies of his experience with a stunning integrity communicating feelings beyond words. He delivers brilliant musical reflections of formative moments from this emotional time in his life, each track embodying different elements of the story.
