Donna de Lory has several solo albums out, but she's still best known as a back-up singer for Madonna, fleshing out choruses since the mid 1980s. There's more than a little bit of Madonna in De Lory's voice, at once fragile and vulnerable, yet still powerful, with a gospel-like yearning. On her own, De Lory has crafted artful pop on albums like Bliss and In the Glow, but she also tends toward the mystical and began incorporating Sanskrit mantras or Kirtans into her songs, a tact culminated on The Lover & the Beloved, a full-fledged Mantra journey. De Lory draws from the golden oldies of mantras, including "Hare Krishna," but revs them up with electronica beats, verse-chorus arrangements, multi-tracked vocals, and electronic textures sprinkled in with the sitars and tablas. Cameron Stone weaves his processed cello through De Lory's melodies and harmonium in serpentine rivulets, tying together the tablas of Girish Gambhira and the answering chants of Kirtan singer, Dave Stringer. Endowed with the materiel girl's sense of pop form and irresistible hooks, De Lory posits a confluence between pop and spiritual music, in which a repeated chorus has the same mantric effect as a chant. Her chants could be hymns to Krishna or a plea to a lover, but they are equally ecstatic and powerful. --John Diliberto
Album Description
These Sanskrit mantras bubble with a groove and atmosphere that takes tradition to heaven and back. Donna's voice resonates with ether and earth, beauty that asks you to join in, become one with the sound of deep celebration.

One of the best CD's I have ever purchased. There is nothing more inspirational, soothing, and fantastic as Donna De Lory. This is my favorite of her albums, and I HIGHLY recommend it!

Love Scent Inc. (Eugene, OR)
Still my favorite kirtan CD and checking my i-tunes library I currently have "411 songs, 2 days, 3.51 GB" worth.
Amazing Chants September 15, 2009
A. D. Boorman
This is an amazing collection of music for Yin Yoga, for sivasana, for meditation, or just for chanting. She has an amazing voice that just carries you away. It is serene and ethereal - almost otherworldly. The productions are multilayered and carefully crafted. Your collection is not complete without this CD! This is a MUST HAVE for your collection and for your individual practice.
Amazingly fantastic - never leaves the CD player! January 1, 2009
K. Donlon (Cardiff, CA)
It took a visit to Brazil to hear her music for the first time being played by an Australian via ipod. Ironically, the LA-based wonder, Donna DeLory, lives just up the coast from me! Her hauntingly beautiful tunes will become a soothing meditation that you'll reach for day after day.
By the way, if you like Donna DeLory, check out Girish and Wah, two other favorites.
Excellent CD! October 22, 2008
Catherine Katz (Connecticut)
Donna's creativity with the mantras and harmonia coupled with her voice are exquisite and one of a kind. In Yoga school, her version of Om Namah Shivaya was played frequently. This is a great cd to play for enjoyment and during a yoga class and for me personally, it brings up many happy, warm feelings of my Yoga Teacher training.
