Chloe Matharu
Scottish-Indian artist Chloe Matharu’s new single, “A Sailor’s Prayer,” is a poignant tribute to seafarers lost at sea. Featuring her grandfather’s harmonium, the song serves to highlight the tragic history of maritime disasters and loss of life caused by overloaded vessels to deliberate scuttling and wartime destruction. Matharu, a former Merchant Navy officer, lends an authentic voice to modern seafarers, continuing the folk tradition of narrating working life through music.
