Saya Gray – “SHALLOW (PPL SWIM IN SHALLOW WATER)”

Saya Gray was born into a musical family: Her father is a composer and trumpet player who has worked with the likes of Ella Fitzgerald and Aretha Franklin, and her mother founded Toronto music school Discovery Through The Arts. She spent her childhood developing prodigious bass skills that earned her a gig in R&B upstart Daniel Caesar's band a few years back. Now she's moving into the spotlight with a debut single of her own. Gray's bassist bona fides shine through immediately on "SHALLOW (PPL SWIM IN SHALLOW WATER)," a minimal yet complex track that might give you glimpses of Fiona Apple and Frank Ocean. "I love my enemies 'cause nobody hates myself more than me," Gray sings before pushing her voice into a falsetto squeak. As the music rolls on, textures build and recede, creating a powerful sense of drama without even dropping a beat. Listen below. https://youtu.be/SonEUeXt0LI

Shameful

Dear Editor, It was disturbing that a cop in Uttarakhand allegedly tried to rape a woman at a quarantine centre. The Surajmal Institute located in Pulbhatta has been turned into a quarantine centre, where people coming to the area, are being asked to stay. Among the inmates of the quarantine centre is a newly-wed couple. Allegedly, the policeman went to the newly-wed couple's room located on the second floor. After reaching there, the accused grabbed the woman's hand and started taking her to a room located on the first floor. As per the police complaint, the accused was inebriated when the incident took place. However, it is an obvious misbehaviour of policeman. It is extremely condemnable, specially when it was committed by a person, who is responsible for safety of people. His misbehaviour not only stigmatized his family, but also defamed the group of security forces. Culprit must be punished. --M N Musaeed Jogeshwari Mumbai

NEW DELHI, May 28 (Agencies): There has been no change in the ground situation or lowering of guard by either sides at the four standoff points between Indian and Chinese troops in Ladakh sector’s Galwan valley and Pangong Tso areas.Both sides are holding firm and it is not possible to indicate at this time when the status quo ante will be restored, people familiar with the development told on Thursday.Yesterday, the Chinese foreign ministry had played down the tense standoff along the Line of Actual Control, insisting that the situation was stable and controllable and the two sides were in touch with each other at different levels.The seemingly conciliatory approach articulated by the Chinese side has not reflected in the ground situation.Three of the standoff points are located around Galwan valley and the fourth, near Pangong lake. The Chinese People’s Liberation Army had moved soldiers to close to these four standoff points that are seen to be an effort to stop India from upgrading its border infrastructure…

Cheap politics can't help Centre wash its hand

Dear Editor, Misleading of Centre has rattled the stranded people. The sudden countywide lockdown, which was imposed by Prime Minister Modi on March 24, without proper preparation, has brought about many difficulties, and pushed migrants into sever events, in which they are victims. Eventually, Centre allowed stranded people to return homes after a month and a half since the lockdown was imposed in India, but some political leaders took it as a golden opportunity to play political games with certain states led by opposition parties. Before some days the Centre has played its political games with West Bengal government over the issue of Shramik Special trains for migrants. Now the Maharashtra government is being aimed by it over the same issue. The railway ministry has provided the Maharashtra government a long list of trains for departure on a single day, without consulting with both departure and arrival states' authorities. While it was reasonably impossible within a day. It seems the Centre wants to portray…
