Label:Blue Frog Records
Rated one of Vh1′s Top Ten emerging artists out of India, the New York + Mumbai duo Shaa’ir (Urdu for “poet”) + Func (derived from “funk” and “functional”) describe their distinctive sound as “lovebeat”, and have been “making consciousness fun since 2006″. S+F’s debut release New Day: The Love Album (re-released on Blue Frog Records, 2008) brims with bass-heavy rhythms, poetic lyrics and haunting synth melodies, fusing spoken-word, funk, R&B, electronica and a dash of jazz. With themes that are both universal and intensely personal, The Love Album heralds fresh energy and a new hope.
