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 vaired 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 is a new era of music is born!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
