Tash Sultana ‎– MTV Unplugged Melbourne VG+/VG+

Tash Sultana – MTV Unplugged (Live in Melbourne) is a rich, atmospheric live album that distills the multi-instrumentalist’s signature blend of soulful vocals, looping mastery, and genre-fluid expression into an intimate acoustic setting. Recorded at Melbourne’s Chapel Off Chapel during lockdown, this performance strips back the layers without losing any of its emotional depth or technical brilliance.

The live set reimagines fan favorites like “Mystik” and “Pretty Lady” with a raw vulnerability, while showcasing deeper cuts such as “Coma” and “Crop Circles” in a breathtaking new light. There’s a mesmerizing cover of Bon Iver’s “Flume” that threads fragility and warmth together in one sweeping moment. Sultana’s collaboration with Josh Cashman on “Dream My Life Away” is another highlight—gentle yet soaring.

Though labeled “Unplugged,” the performance defies minimalism, embracing ambient textures and percussive finesse that make the stage feel almost like a dreamscape. Every note is thoughtful, every silence deliberate. The album, self-produced and mixed by Sultana, is less a concert and more a spiritual encounter between artist and audience.
