From the recording Do Not Cry
Laila’s heartfelt and emotionally charged singing in Do Not Cry is deeply moving, as if her voice is crying out in a moment of vulnerability, pleading with an earnest, tender intensity.
This powerful track is from the album "Awake! Arise! Songs of Sri Chinmoy", written by renowned meditation and spirituality teacher Sri Chinmoy, with arrangements by two-time Grammy-nominated pianist Misha Tsiganov. It also features the virtuosic saxophone of Premik Russell Tubbs, whose soulful playing enhances the emotional depth of the piece. The mixing and mastering were expertly handled by David Darlington, a multi-Grammy award-winning sound engineer and producer, ensuring the song’s powerful essence is beautifully captured.
