Nadha is the third studio album by Chilean pop rock band Kudai, released on May 13, 2008 through EMI Latin in Latin America, and on August 5, 2008 through Capitol Records in United States. [1] Produced by Koko Stambuk and Carlos Lara, the album was nominated for Best Pop Album by Group or Duet at the 9th Annual Latin Grammy Awards in November 2008. [2]
The album title means in Sanskrit "sound from the depths of the soul", which fits the emotional and sincere themes within. [3] Most of the songs were written by Stambuk, and co-written by Kudai. Also collaborated others musicians such as Lara, Tomas "Twags" Salter, Shelly Peiken, Mónica Vélez, Kenny Aronoff and Eric Avery. Nadha is a pop rock album adorned with uptempo songs, soft ballads and alternative tracks. The lyrics deal with topics such as ecology, homosexuality, toxic relationships and depression. [4]
Four singles were released from the album: "Lejos De Aquí", "Nada Es Igual", "Morir De Amor" and "Disfraz". A special edition of Nadha was reissued in December, 2008. It included two different versions of the song "Hoy Quiero", which was released as a promotional single. [5]
Kudai began recording their third studio album in October 2007; the members had the conviction to compose and write songs together with the producers. [6] Together with Koko Stambuk, who wrote the track "Tú" from the re-release of their second studio album, Sobrevive , Kudai composed several songs.
Their third studio album Nadha has 12 songs, of which six were written by the producer Koko Stambuk (ex-musician of Glup!). Three other songs are from the recognized producer Carlos Lara, who is considered to be the creator of RBD and has collaborated with musicians such as Lynda Thomas and Ricky Martin. Cathy Lean (Ex-Mal Corazón), from Chile, also wrote two of the album's songs. Nadha's production was described as much more organic, very different from her previous productions. "It's like a very neutral mix" between pop and rock. [7]
Kudai band member Gabriella Villalba has said that this album is a turning point in Kudai's musical career: [3]
"Now is the time that Kudai needs to show and prove many things because if we remain the same, we will be categorized as the teen band that will never grow. I feel that this third album is a very decisive stage for Kudai. We are going to fight to rid ourselves from the title of "the band that wants to be popular" and actually present good material."
Kudai chose to interpret the songs of Alanis Morissette and her band's bassist Eric Avery (ex-Jane's Addiction). The album was mastered at the Los Angeles, California studio Igloo Music under the direction of Gustavo Borner, [8] who has worked with well-known artists such as Diego Torres, Ricky Martin, Sin Bandera, Phil Collins, Plácido Domingo and N'Sync, as well as working on the motion picture soundtracks of Rush Hour 2 , Miami Vice and Finding Nemo .
Nadha opens with the intro of the first track, "Lejos De Aquí", an ambient sound with TV news in the background. The uptempo pop style song deals with global warming and its future consequences. [9] The next track is a power pop ballad titled "Nada Es Igual", with emotional lyrics about losing someone. [10] The third song on the album, "No Te Vayas", features pulsating drums and acoustic guitars, which give it a teen pop vibe. "Abismo", as well as "Todo Peor", are both songs originally performed by Chilean rock band Mal Corazón. The former is a pop rock ballad replete with an acoustic atmosphere, while the latter contains a Texas-style guitar riff in the bridge.
Nadha's fifth track, "Disfraz", is an emo pop song that addresses the topic of homosexuality from the perspective of a person with this sexual preference. The next song, "Calendario" is a soft rock ballad in which the narrator expresses the overwhelming feelings of being away from her lover. The seventh track, "Morir De Amor", is an uptempo pop rock track influenced by dance and synthpop that narrates a toxic relationship. The soft rock power pop ballad "Abrázame" drew comparisons to the work of Mexican band RBD. The alternative rock cut, "Cicatriz", includes strong guitar and drum instrumentation, and talks about a person's depressed state.
The album's eleventh track, "Abre Los Ojos", also drew comparisons to early RBD productions. Nadha's last track, "Aquí Estoy (You're Not Alone)", is a ballad about cheering up someone who is feeling discouraged about life.
The album's title and other early information was announced in Kudai's official website in February, 2008. On month later, the band presented a preview of "Lejos De Aquí", the lead single from Nadha, on Radio Disney Latin America. The song was officially released on April 1, 2008, and its lyrics deals with global warming and its future consequences. [11] The music video for the single, directed by Juan Pablo Olivares, entered heavy rotation across MTV Latin America, and it shows the members of Kudai with a futuristic and minimalist style. "Lejos De Aquí" received positive critical reviews, and debuted at number third on the Mexican selling singles. [12]
Kudai made their first promotional tour in the United States, visiting some cities in Texas during April 2008 like Houston, McAllen, San Antonio and Dallas. On April 30, they performed at the Exa Party event in Texas. [13]
