"Instantly memorable ...Vasandani returns with the vastly expanded textural palette and head-nodding grooves of Best Life Now…the album immerses listeners in a soundtrack that authentically captures both the highs and lows of contemporary relationships.” -Jazzwise 4-star review
Best Life Now puts forth a seamless amalgam of songwriting, tight R&B grooves and jazz textures and sonorities in the mix...Vasandani’s voice occupies a zone reminiscent of D’Angelo, Robert Palmer and David Sylvian, while his intelligent songwriting rises above mere genre generics.” -DownBeat 4-star review
"The Warmth and Soulful Groove...Sachal Vasandani has become known for his distinctive takes on jazz standards, and for his wide ranging covers, from Bob Dylan to Billie Eilish. But Sachal is also a songwriter himself, and his new album, Best Life Now, is largely a collection of original songs musing on stories of sensuality, heartbreak, and other love struggles.” -WNYC
