Singer, songwriter, and composer Senani Wijesena, who resides in Sydney, Australia, remains in the spotlight with her own original music. Her latest single, 'In the Flow', is the first song she composed for her forthcoming album, 'Music of the Mirror'. The R&B track features jazz and Latin influences and is inspired by the singer's connection with her 'twin flame', exploring themes such as telepathy, astral travel, synchronicities, and shared energy frequencies.
The music video for 'In the Flow' was filmed in Sydney, Australia, at a Victorian-style home with ornate chandeliers and a grand piano. The retro aesthetic was inspired by Senani's perception of a twin flame connection, which she describes as "vintage, rooted, historic, and beautiful." The clip is filmed on a stone veranda in her favorite flowing dress, embodying the emotion of the song.
Senani, daughter of celebrated actress Jeevarani Kurukulasuriya, has been a prominent figure in Sydney's underground R&B, soul, and funk scene for many years. Her music blends sensual pop, soul, and exotic Eastern elements, drawing from her Sri Lankan heritage — including tabla and sitar. She has gained international recognition with her single 'Voodoo Girl' and her album 'Infinity', showcasing her powerful vocals, dynamic dance style, and fearless artistry.
Despite her international success, Senani remains deeply connected to her Sri Lankan roots. She has recently filmed scenes for the music video of her upcoming Sinhala song, 'Maayamkaariniye' (a translated version of her English song 'Voodoo Girl'), which will be released in November. Directed by Nerun Kalpajith and featuring choreography by local dance group Island Stompers, the video will complement the spiritual and sensual essence of her music.
