NEW YORK (Top40 Charts/ Raven Recording) -
Gabrielle Roth has been called "the high priestess of trance", "rave goddess", "aural harlot", "rock 'n' roll shaman" and "simply, the only American woman creating authentic ambient-tribal music."
JHOOM is the 17th album she, along with her husband and co-producer Robert Ansell, have released over the past 25 years with their ensemble, Gabrielle Roth &The Mirrors. It is a smoking collection of tripped-out tribal rhythms that send you into a state of trance ecstasy. JHOOM is a hypnotic blend of drums, bass, strings and female chants, an adrenaline rush and a whirl of electrifying tribal grooves that will awaken the spiritual hunger within you, while keeping your feet in constant motion.
