Relatively recently, she also released her very charming third solo album consisting of piano and her voice in a smooth jazzy songs filled with a knowledge of ancient wisdom - Thirukkural parts - gathered together in a chill-out philosophical album "Desire But Duty" is what everyone needs to hear.
As the lyrics for the "Wandering Wind" are written in the book of “The Light Of Asia” – a form of a narrative poem - describing the life and time of Prince Gautama Buddha, who, after attaining enlightenment, became the Buddha, The Awakened One, as we all know him today, parts of songs are in a hip-hop style. The songs presents his life, character, and philosophy in a series of verses. It is a free adaptation of the Lalitavistara.
A purpose of this album is to introduce listeners about a very little known outside of Asia - Buddha and Buddhism. Fatima’s songs are one of the first successful efforts to popularize Buddhism for a Western listeners implementing Eduard Arnold’s poetry into songs.
