Melanie Georgiou ft Prem Murti – Ancient Voices (2026)
Melanie Georgiou and Prem Murti have joined forces to create a single that is timeless yet contemporary. ‘Ancient Voices’ blends the modern sounds of dreamy Britpop with the resonance of Sanskrit chants for a wonderful melding of old and new. Together, these sounds fuse for a single that is meditative and spiritual while fresh and compelling. As a first collaboration for Georgiou, it is a glimpse of what may come as she pushes her musical boundaries.
While this single is infused with dreamy Britpop and timeless chants, Georgiou’s musical journey has been an interesting one. Transitioning from a classical musician to the world of EDM, she has showcased her versatility and garnered the attention of top dance labels. Through this track and some that came before it, she continues to show how classical influences can be melded with electronic dance and pop elements for an engaging listening experience.
There is a traditional folky feeling to the opening as the organic tones of the instrumentation lead you into something ancient and timeless. The gentle touch of the electronic notes sweeps over these organic lines, carefully building the pop and electronic pulses of the melody. It is a steady build that calmly leads you further and further into the single. Through this melding of melodic lines, you can feel your feet sink into the richness of the sonic carpet that is laid out before you.
The vocals enhance the feeling that is created by the melody, with Georgiou’s vocals a delicate touch that brings a glittering light to the high levels of the track. The verses she sings are smooth and fill you with warmth. When Murti’s vocals hit on the chorus, the chanting Sanskrit lyrics sink into your soul. The interplay between the vocal lines is smooth and seamless while creating a meditative and relaxing flow.
This collaboration is fantastic and creates a single that balances everything perfectly. You can ride the dreamy pop tones that bring the modern touch into the timelessness of something truly ancient. Through all of this, there is a call through the vocal performances as they reach for each other. The fact that there are no harmonisations is interesting, but actually enhances the relaxing and emotive flow of the track.
