SUNDARI bears the signature sound crafted by Vidya and is a canny mix of pop, electronic and hip-hop with Indian folk, classical and contemporary music

Longtime listeners of singer/ songwriter Vidya Vox, aka Vidya lyer, will notice a key difference between her new EP Sundari and her previous mini albums, Kuthu Fire (2017) and Mad Dreams (2019). The new effort is primarily in Tamil whereas the earlier sets were mostly in English. She attributes the shift to the inspiration behind Sundari. "I wanted to specifically make it in Tamil because the EP was inspired by my mom and the journey I've seen her go through," says Vidya. "Tamil is my mother tongue and I felt like [her story] was best articulated in that language."
