Ananda Xenia Shakti Opens Minds And Ears With “Cosmic Quiver”
Ananda Xenia Shakti & Love Power the Band are back with their follow-up single to the highly successful mediation track, “I Am Love.” Cosmic Quiver is a fast-paced, inspirational dance-along track that Ananda Xenia Shakti professes is meant to “open the Third Eye and The Beyond. To help us all awaken our New Earth Consciousness, where illusion can gracefully and lovingly dance away… and Freedom Rise.” Following the trend of capturing the essence of sacred and heavenly locations, Ananda Xenia Shakti channels this energy into her music as she guides her listener into the trance-like state in which we can connect with our inner spirit, an awakening within ourselves while being entertained and challenged alike. As a professional Sananda Yoga coach, Ananda Xenia Shakti utilizes these practices in her music to form a connection with her students, yet she leaves us with a stand-alone musical score as well. Coupled with Love Power the Band, these charismatic and inspirational chants are rhythmically delivered in an enjoyable and delightful manner, eliciting a dance response from their audience. Of course, this journey is only complete with the stunning visual performance Ananda Xenia Shakti delivers in her video accompaniment. The classical dance majestically channels the power of the deep metaphorical rhythmic passages captivates, and entrances the viewer, making it impossible not to feel that spiritual and karmic connection with the song.
Although Cosmic Quiver is not produced to attract a pop music following, this track should be added to any easy listening, meditation, or spiritual connection playlist. The mature and professional package expertly delivers on its intended demographic, yet leaves room for newcomers to fall in love with the dance, the chant, the thematic nature of the lyrics, and the peace of mind which Cosmic Quiver supplies. I found this track to be very enjoyable, the articulations and phrasing in the vocals attached themselves to my first impressions, making it a joy to attempt to anticipate the next syncopation and resolution. This reviewer highly recommends that interested parties consume the translation passage, and the personal reflection Ananda Xenia Shakti has provided with the video for Cosmic Quiver.

SZA Takes Stand Against Concert Chaos, Threatens Shutdown Over Flying Objects
SZA Takes Stand Against Concert Chaos, Threatens Shutdown Over Flying Objects
In recent times, a disturbing trend has marred concert experiences worldwide: fans hurling random objects at their beloved performers during live shows. This reckless behavior not only poses serious safety risks but also undermines the enjoyment for everyone involved. Despite the alarming consequences, artists like Drake, Coi Leray, GloRilla, and Latto have found themselves dodging unexpected projectiles on stage. Joining this unfortunate list is SZA, who recently faced a similar ordeal during a performance in Australia.
A viral clip circulating online captures the “Kill Bill” songstress directly addressing the unruly crowd in Australia, calling out individuals for tossing objects at her. With unwavering determination, SZA firmly warns that she won’t hesitate to halt the concert if the misconduct persists. “I will leave,” she asserts, emphasizing her stance against such dangerous antics. “Do not throw up any cell phones, I’m a person. That’s cr*zy.”
Unsurprisingly, fans have rallied behind SZA, commending her for standing up against the hazardous behavior. Comments flooding platforms like The Jasmine Brand echo the sentiment, condemning the trend of object throwing at concerts. “Y’all need to stop this weird trend of throwing things at people at concerts,” urges one Instagram user, reflecting the collective frustration. Another commenter echoes the sentiment, emphasizing the disruption caused by such antics: “Stop the whole show, ain’t nobody got time for that.”
SZA’s bold response to the incident mirrors a growing intolerance among artists towards such disruptions. Just last month, Nicki Minaj retaliated during her Pink Friday 2 tour, flinging an object back into the crowd after narrowly avoiding a collision with her head. The incident even drew parallels to Cardi B’s infamous reaction, where she tossed a microphone at an audience member last summer for dousing her with a drink.
The question arises: Should this bizarre trend of hurling objects at performers come to an end? SZA’s decisive action in Australia serves as a resounding call for concertgoers to respect the safety and dignity of artists on stage. Share your thoughts on SZA’s stance and the need to curb this concerning trend in the comments below. Stay tuned to Honk Magazine for further updates on this evolving story.
