This sensuous new album follows up U.K. vocalist Susheela Raman's critically-acclaimed 2001 debut. SALT RAIN. Covering songs by Joan Armatrading and Ethiopian legend Mahmoud Ahmed alongside ones based in the Tamil tradition - Susheela fine tunes her unique brand of sultry, evocative East/West fusion that has dazzled her audiences around the world. ~ In the artist's own words: "LOVE TRAP is one step further along the path that stems from the encounter of Indian and Western music I grew up with as the daughter of Tamil emigrants living in Britain and Australia. "I describe this album as 'more beauty and more beast'; an altogether more concentrated distillation of South Indian classical music, North Indian folk and pop melodies, rock, funk, drum 'n' bass, and all the musical inspirations of the musicians playing with me. We all have our own journeys to make, but the pathways of the musicians and the sounds on LOVE TRAP cross here in a way that is very real for me and, I hope, for you." - Susheela Raman
