Here I am back after an extremely lazy Christmas period where I had a few too many mince pies and a few glasses of red to accompany the card games and family chatter. This one was sent over to me for a listen and a nudge to make my last review of the year a world music piece, so I am completing this as a general introduction to Loki Ojha, a multi-faceted performer from India.
Loki is an independent artist from India who is currently showing his abilities as a vocalist, dancer, musician, visual effects artist, and wordsmith. His music has received positive reviews, appearing in 15 film festivals and garnering international media attention; he has been featured in a number of Indian newspapers, magazines, and news channels. Loki was even invited to be a part of the India International Animation & Cartoon Film Festival in New Delhi, where he shared the stage with Javeed Jaffrey and Mary Kom as brand ambassadors.
His music is available on all major platforms and is linked below.
He has a number of short dance sequences where he clearly presents a Michael Jackson-influenced style and musical tracks like “Butterfly Dreams” represent a techno-pop style of music that is stripped back and slightly hypnotic; there is a pinch of late sixties psychadelia in there too. I don’t review a lot of techno-pop as its not a genre we extensively feature here. His music reminds me a bit of an animation sound track, certainly a factor in listening to “Dangerous.” These types of musical montages are inventive and probably make the most impact in his horror style backing (check out his horror movie trailer for “Tutelary”—now that I was impressed with and liked; it grabbed my attention). You see, reviews are subjective because they are pulled from a reviewer’s tastes. I liked the whole “Tutelary” concept; things clicked together on that and I was hooked in. But I enjoy horror. Turning to the new single “Beautiful Girl,” we return to the techno side of his music with a dreamy pop style production. It seems a personal nod toward that special girl, and it shows a softer touch to the techno beat.
I think Loki Ojha has the talent; as an independent artist, he is working hard to raise his profile. But he also needs to look closely at where he excels and where the audience connects and focus on that. I also feel he would benefit from connecting to an Indian-based producer with a grip on what works internationally, someone like Dr. Lincoln who understands both markets well. Currently, he is presenting interesting tracks and sometimes hits the mark. A name to watch for in 2025.
