I almost couldn’t believe it and felt thousands of butterflies in my stomach after seeing my name on the chart. Knowing that my fans love my new album "Bhajans" is the BEST feeling ever and I am deeply grateful for their support.""The vision about this album was created ten years ago while I was living in India, so my heart feels overjoyed that it is now materializing," continues Lerche. "I feel a huge enthusiasm about sharing my "Bhajans" album with my fans and also with many new music lovers worldwide. The music has that special sound of New Age blended with traditional Indian instruments which makes it soothing for the heart and soul. It is an album created in the honor of my late teacher Rattan Singh Rajput, with whom I shared a common dream about connecting East and West through my music. I feel immensely grateful to him and to Anurag Sood and his family for their guidance and belief in me.
