Neeru, an Australian singer, composer, and songwriter, has released her concept album 'Moonbow' on September 5th. The 12-chapter sonic journey chronicles a single night from dusk to dawn, with each track representing a specific hour and emotional state. Neeru, a 19-year-old alumna of the Victorian College of the Arts Secondary School and currently studying at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, blends Indian classical, Western classical, Celtic folk, jazz, and cinematic idioms in her music.
She maintains her Indian roots by using live instrumentation and writes from a perspective shaped by her experiences living between cultures. Her song 'Painted Maiden' explores the expectations of femininity and is a release of empowerment. Neeru's ultimate aim is to blur musical boundaries naturally, rather than forcing fusion.
The album concludes with the hopeful note 'Aurora,' a lullaby-like tune to remind listeners that the darkness can reveal the light in our lives.
