Following the success of her past albums 'Traces Of You', 'Home', 'Land Of Gold', 'Love Letters' documents a time of profound flux for the artiste: health issues, heartbreak, domestic upheaval.

"These were heavy shocks and challenges, things which pushed me into some very vulnerable places. I've written from a personal place before, of course, but there was something particularly tender and raw about the process this time," Anoushka said in a statement.

According to the release, 2020 will see Anoushka touring with her new music, alongside special gala performances to commemorate the centenary of her father, legendary musician Ravi Shankar's birth.
