A Foot on the Ground Colorfield Sharada Shashidhar is an artist who is constantly exploring. While her first album, Rahu (2020), saw her mixing synths and skittish beats with her jazz-leaning compositions, she pulled back a bit on her dazzling sophomore release, Soft Echoes (2024), which sounded like an exotic, updated take on vintage Joni Mitchell. Now, with A Foot on the Ground, she’s combined those two approaches while simultaneously taking things several steps further.
