Asha Puthli – Asha Puthli (RSD 2020)
Originally released in 1973, Asha Puthli’s self-titled album is a stunning blend of soul, jazz, funk, and psychedelic pop. With her rich, sultry voice and genre-defying sound, Asha became one of the first Indian vocalists to gain international acclaim in Western popular music. The album includes interpretations of Bill Withers and J.J. Cale, reimagined with lush orchestration and her unique vocal phrasing. This Record Store Day edition celebrates a cult classic that has been rediscovered by crate diggers, DJs, and fans of cosmic soul. A timeless and genre-blurring gem.
