Great news, folks! Sid Sriram will be back in Kuala Lumpur this November, in support of his recently-released Def Jam Recordings debut, “Sidharth.” Malaysia will be one of the first few stops for The Sidharth World Tour, which includes shows across Asia, North America, the UK and Europe.
Sid’s shows have built a reputation for excellence on the back of his recent performances which include Wembley Arena in London, The Roxy Theatre in Los Angeles and his recent US run in support of Bon Iver. His sold out concert at Axiata Arena earlier this month was a brilliant spectacle as much as a showcase for Sid’s awe-inspiring vocals.
Released at the tail-end of August, Sidharth is an identity-confronting project framed by Sid’s moving vocalisations and experimental production that tows the line of genres such as R&B, indie rock, and American Pop, that surrounded him growing up as an immigrant kid in Fremont, California, in the ‘90s and 2000s. The album’s creation process was unlike any other he had undertaken before, with a significant difference being that the vocals are delivered in English.
In the summer of 2021, he took a leap of faith and hopped on a plane to Minneapolis to work with producer Ryan Olson (Poliça, Gayngs, Bon Iver), whom he had previously only met on Instagram. The project was recorded during an intense week in the studio, with most of the songs being tracked live by a small team of Olson’s associates, including Bon Iver’s Justin Vernon, a longtime inspiration for Sid. Sid’s sincerity and passion bleed through his recordings, offering a one-of-a-kind, compelling live performance fit for the world stage.
Sidharth has received warm praise by the press, with critical acclaim that includes: “Sriram is undoubtedly a first-of-his-kind musician” – American Songwriter; “A masterclass in the potency of musical intention” – Office Magazine; and “A bold, risk-taking record about coming to terms with the many contradictions of a transnational identity” – Pitchfork.
