Pokkisham Premieres Her Latest Single 'Borrowed Time'

Pokkisham is a Sri Lankan singer, multi-instrumentalist, composer, and producer from London. Her passion for narrative, along with jazz harmonies, soulful vocals, and sophisticated orchestration, transports you to her world.

She has a real experience voice and has professionally gigged as a singer and pianist for a number of years. She is presently contemplating the publication of her own songs. Pokkisham, unafraid to mix styles and influences, is reaching out to share music that pushes boundaries and demonstrates true craftsmanship in her style that combines jazz harmony, soulful vocals, and poetry-infused lyricism.

Pokkisham was formed from a diverse musical legacy that included early exposure to Carnatic South Indian musical traditions as well as instruction in Western Classical music. He also fell into a rabbit hole of love for jazz, funk, and soul and has never climbed out. Pokkisham has been a professional singer/pianist on the UK jazz scene for many years, performing for luminaries like Quincy Jones and sharing the stage with Sam Smith when he was a young artist.

Her music has always been an important part of her life, but she is now making an effort to become more visible as a songwriter, producer, and arranger of her own songs. Pokkisham, who has received accolades from Quincy Jones and several British musicians, has carved out her own niche in the musical world, and her ongoing musical journey is one you want to be a part of.

"Borrowed Time," recorded at Eastcote Studios and post-produced at Pokkisham's home studio and The Bunker in the UK, showcases the abilities of star session and jazz guitarist John Parricelli, who appears on the tune with Marco Quarantotto (drums) and Jason Reyes-Walsh (bass).

This song is about the end of a relationship in which you have disregarded the warning signs for too long and are "living and loving on borrowed time." Through a haunting chorale vocal passage and flashes of Classical-style piano arpeggios, this melancholy tune provides plangent anticipation of the sorrow that occurs when a long-term love falls apart. It suddenly explodes into life as the pounding rhythm section establishes the killer groove, and the voyage starts.
