DESCRIPTION
After 44 years, the legendary Asha Puthli is back on stage, with a highly anticipated tour across the US, Australia, and Europe, as well as iconic performances at Glastonbury and We Out Here. Asha’s return marks a magical new chapter in her already extraordinary career. Few artists have had such a distinctive and diverse musical journey as Asha, a trailblazer who has traversed the worlds of ‘60s psych, free jazz, pop, rock, disco, and beyond.
To celebrate this golden moment in Asha’s career, we are re-releasing her iconic album The Devil Is Loose on gold vinyl. Originally released in 1976, this LP is perhaps her most well-known and features the classic, psychedelic disco-funk anthem "Space Talk." Asha’s soaring vocals on this track and throughout the album invite listeners on a journey that mirrors her eclectic musical journey—spanning across different genres and scenes over time, continually revered by audiences worldwide.
Each track on The Devil Is Loose showcases Asha’s celestial voice and impeccable vocal range, accompanied by orchestral-infused, disco-enhanced instrumentation. The album is cinematic and captivating, moving through the infectious funk of "Flying Fish," the cosmic transcendence of "The Devil Is Loose," and the choir-like beauty of "Say Yes." This is a true masterpiece from a musical maverick who paved the way for countless others.
At Mr Bongo, we are thrilled to present the work of such an iconic figure in music. Whether you are replacing a well-loved original copy or hearing Asha Puthli for the first time, we hope you are enchanted by this quintessential slice of her world.
