The first comment I've ever felt compelled to make, but this perfect symphony of artists possibly made my tear up. I've been browsing UA-cam for 12 years.
The way it flows from Indian through to a kind of soulful rock (for want of a better phrase) is great. Her mastery from one language to another as well as hitting the notes dead on with feel: 👌🏻 Need more music like this!
Totally agree with your comment, but let's not be too generic - it's Bengali, not "Indian"! Indian isn't a language, and if you're trying to describe the music style then maybe just go with 'South Asian' :)
Good question! I've literally just heard this song on the radio, found it here and the whole sound is amazing. Though I'm particularly blown away by her vocals. Beautiful!
This is sooo good.. I love her vocal flow in what I presume is Bengali. I see one comment mentions her as Nicki Wells? Thanks for that because I was wondering who she is. Impressive vocal skills.
***** nipponjohnny Thanks guys, I'm going to spotify here asap. Great voice, you can hear lots of influences and this song is beautiful. In case you're interested, my soundcloud account is soundcloud.com/jonny-hamer
What particular language (or maybe a better word is dialect) is Nicki singing in here? Sorry I wouldn't be able to tell hindi apart from Urdu or any other Indian/Pakistani language given that I've only recently started listening to Indian music and that's mostly Tamil or Hindi from what I can gather from the albums..
Shadman Ahmed Thank You!!! It's a beautiful song and language. Do you think that you could recommend some artist's that I could listen to? Pretty please and thank you in advance.
হঠাৎ যদি আমি থেমে যেতাম শেষ বিকেলের মতো অস্ত যেতাম অসীম রাতের শেষে শয়নে সূর্যের সাথে আমি ঘুমিয়ে যেতাম সূর্যের সাথে আমি ঘুমিয়ে যেতাম How is her accent? It sounds good to me but I'm not a Bengali speaker!

Nicki Wells must be one of the most underrated musicians around. Wish we could hear more.

As usual a great performance of Sawhney. I didn't expect otherwise
I fall in love with bengali lyrics ❤❤👌
Beautiful the way she flits between different vocal styles. True hybrid music.
The tabla player is Aref Durvesh. Really nice guy and amazing tabla player. His drum and bass on the tabla is off the hook.

July 2020 this is the bollicks
especially special vocals by Nicki Wells
When played at x1.25 it sounds close to the MJ Cole remix

Missing Bengali lyrics !
হঠাৎ যদি আমি থেমে যেতাম
শেষ বিকেলের মতো অস্ত যেতাম
অসীম রাতের শেষে শয়নে
সূর্যের সাথে আমি ঘুমিয়ে যেতাম
সূর্যের সাথে আমি ঘুমিয়ে যেতাম
How is her accent? It sounds good to me but I'm not a Bengali speaker!
