VOGUE INDIA MAGAZINE –
“ India’s Grammy nominee Priya Darshini talks about the intention of her record ‘Periphery’. The artist’s debut tackles identity crises with lush fusion. “
VERVE MAGAZINE
“Singer and composer Priya Darshini wrote the Grammy-nominated Periphery (Best New Age Album), in less than two weeks and then recorded it live, in one take, in an abandoned Brooklyn church over a single day. In the run-up to the awards, we speak to the Chennai-born artiste about her deep-rooted classical background, that time when she almost charted a career for herself in Bollywood and the process of putting together this introspective, out-of-the-box album”

HI FIDELITY ‘BIG RED BUTTON AWARD’
Translated from Polish – “Between the columns a window opens to another world, to the “unimaginable”. And that wonderful voice of Priya Darshini! It is clean, almost crystalline, and thanks to recording it at a distance, its natural color has been preserved, it has not been mixed into a flat sheet of paper. Similarly, there are other instruments that are extremely rich in harmonics, and therefore natural.”

“Mumbai girl Priya Darshini was 23 when she became the first Indian woman to finish the 100-mile Himalayan Ultramarathon. Six years later, in New York, she reflects on its impact on her music, acting and, more than anything, her mind”

THE PUNCH MAGAZINE
“ Songs for the Other” “(The nine tracks) are all ethereal and burst with unfettered energy, with a unique architecture of sound that is remarkable in a debut album. Her voice is clear, soothing, dream-like. Its pitch and range — from gentle to a falsetto — is soprano-like. “ “The eclecticism she brings to her album has been informed by her own experiences and identities. She has donned several proverbial hats: sung in TV and radio commercials and films, acted in films, run a 100- mile race in the Himalayas — the first and the youngest Indian woman to do so. Besides, she has also been an entrepreneur and has been part of initiatives working in the areas of human rights and social justice.”
