Neeru Lets Musical Boundaries Blur Naturally in Moonbow
Australian Singer Neeru: ‘I Don’t Intend On Forcing Fusion, But Rather Letting The Lines Blur Naturally’ · freepressjournal.in

Neeru is a 19-year-old singer and composer from Australia.

She also uses the name Neeharika Shyju.

Her album Moonbow tells a story that lasts from evening until early morning.

Each of its 12 chapters represents a different time and feeling during the night.

She used real instruments because she wanted the music to feel natural and human.

Her songs include sounds influenced by Indian classical music, Celtic folk, jazz, and other traditions.

Neeru says she does not want to force these styles together.

Instead, she lets them blend naturally while learning from different musical cultures.

Her music also reflects her roots in Kerala and her experiences living between cultures.
