Here is a review from USA November 2011:

Andersen One Nation Under A Groove (DK)
“Guardian Angel”.

One Nation is a very likeable crew. They exude a happy group of musicians,
who seem to truly enjoy and appreciate making music. The lyrics on this
album are light hearted and fun; while their music is captivating to listen
to, with its creative nature and eclectic choice of instrumentation (i.e.
Sitars, old synthesizers, etc). Henrik Andersen's voice has a David Bowie quality,
both interesting and unique in pop music. "Guardian Angel" is the song, that
will push the boundaries of One Nation's radio success. It makes me think of
those classic "wonder-hits" of a particular era; "Guardian Angel" parallels
with songs like "Amadeus" by Falco, and "How Bizzare" by OMC - with their
catchy tune and melody that is not only engrained in our heads, but in
pop-culture as well. The album, as a whole, is pleasant and there is
several radio worthy songs. "Jazz Crash Hotel" is funky and danceable, and
"One Nation" sounds a little like the original Funkadelic song. Henrik Andersen
uses a voice-changer like that of Peter Frampton, and unleashes his Konnakol
skills, which they call "Indian Vocal Percussion." Altogether, this is a
great band, great album, and was great fun to listen to.

A mix of dance, pop, soul and India. But first of all: Great melodies

One Nation Under A Groove:
Tablas, sitars, Western pop and the Indian rhythm language Konnakol. A new kind of “rap”! Blended with English lyrics, keyboards – and hip hop rhythms.

One Nation Under A Groove:
We focus on great catchy melodies, and these 12 songs on the CD is remixed for our debut album “Guardian Angel”.

One Nation Under A Groove:
“Henrik Andersen has a wonderful voice – a little bit like David Bowie! Or George Harrison meets Prince… “
This is what many listeners on myspace.com have said.

One Nation Under A Groove:
Interesting and personal lyrics about Henrik’s life with a philosophical twist. (H. Andersen has toured India 7 times, and studied philosophy and sitar there)

One Nation Under A Groove:
Exciting keyboards sounds (often a lot of old moogs) blend with funky electric and acoustic guitars, and great vocals in English - all song by H. Andersen.

One Nation Under A Groove:
“Konnakol”! That’s Indian RAP! As we see it and use it in the band. Andersen has studied Indian music and can actually sing the difficult Konnakol-rhythmic “language”.
In this band we use a new kind of rap – we believe we’ve found a new way of making RAP-music. Besides that H. Andersen is an excellent human-beatbox-singer too!

Review of the album "Guardian Angel" By: Journalist Jasmin L. Charis, GERMANY for www.streetclip.tv

Excellent album, huge talent, unique voice and a new era of music is born!

Finally the long awaited debut-album “Guardian Angel” by the Danish band One Nation Under A Groove is finished! Every single track on this beautiful release is a musical masterpiece and a mixture of Indian music, Soul and Hip Hop, composed mainly by Henrik Andersen and produced by Morten Buschman and Flemming Pedersen. One Nation Under A Groove represents with their music a new pop sound! The musician Henrik Andersen is an brilliant artist with a unique voice and konnakol/human beat box-vocals, which makes his singing so special!

This album contains 12 tracks and starts with one of my favourite songs, the funky pop-Soul number “Guardian Angel”, which spreads joy and happiness - and makes you just feel good! This song begins with the lyrics:
“When I grew up – I lived in my world of fantasy”
and I am very convinced of the fact that Henrik Andersen must own a lot of imagination to write such fantastic lyrics and melodies.

The next song “(You Need) Music” is another track I really like. It is wonderful dedication of a big passion: MUSIC! In this song Henrik Anderesen reflects the question of the sense of life in a philosophical way and he tries to find the answer in music:
“We would be lost in this world without music,
let..s come together and sing a song.
Music can heal us and make a strong.”

I agree, because where words cannot be expressed any more, music can still be a bridge to express deep emotions and can help you through bad times – or bring people together!

Besides groovy funky songs as “Keep The Groove” or “One Nation” there are also romantic and pensive ballads, as for example “Hold On To Me”, a wonderful song with piano or meditative melodies as the track number 6 “Blueberry Heaven”.
This album is very varied and offers a lot of important values as: spirituality, love and joy of life and explains: how important music is! One thing is for sure: with the Danish band One Nation Under A Groove a new era of music is born!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
