Top Indian Songs of the week 27th November 2022

Here is the week’s best indian songs from over 350 music releases across languages and states

1. Jitthe Pyaar
Music, Lyrics: Mitika Kanwar, Muheet Bharti
Vocals: Mitika Kanwar, Muheet Bharti
Music Produced: Muheet Bharti
Language: Punjabi
Genre: R&B, Indie pop

This is one of those rare songs that blew me away the very first time. I remember sharing this with many music lovers as proof that great music still exists here and keeps getting created if you look for it in the right places. It is my honour to write a review of this song and there can be no other song that can vie for the top spot, and mind you, the list that follows has some breathtaking music as well. Muheet Bharti is a fine musician who I believe will create wonders in the future and here he and Mitika Kanwar work to write, compose and perform this single. When I had a word with her, she tells me that the idea behind this song was to create awareness that Punjabi music was much more than just promoting violence, aggression and male ego. Here is Mitika through her music and lyrics telling music lovers and people to raise their consciousness. As much as the song's underlying tune, its production is very important as well and that is where Muheet's skills make a foray. It is an unbelievable ride that you have to experience as a music lover, and Mitika's singing is nothing short of unbelievable. The vibrato and measure approach to ghamakas is just a lesson to even some distinguished singers, in being creative and not singing like a broken record. The Keys and rhythms provide some mild decoration along with the saxophone in the background. I am guessing that there is some influence of Raag Jog. I cannot begin to describe the pleasure I get when I listen to Mitika's aalap, as it feels like she is a Godsend. This could very well be 2022's best vocal performance in my opinion. Muheet does some insane arrangements and only he could have envisioned all these instruments conjoining and adding the R&B flavour. Aftab Khan deserves praise for mixing and mastering along with Vatsal Chevli as the mixing assistant. Muheet joins the party late, but he shows why he is also an essential player, and he too adds some fantastic aalap, especially towards the end. The two bring the creative freedom of Jazz and intertwine it with a classical scale. The Executive Producers are Shivansh Jindal and Radhika Mistry, and who else but Salim-Sulaiman could have promoted and presented this with their Merchant Records Label?




2. Aise Kyun
Composed: Anurag Saikia
Lyrics: Raj Shekhar
Singer: Rekha Bhardwaj, Anurag Saikia
Music Produced by Oblong Sioni, Ishan Das
Language: Hindi
Genre: Ghazal, Pop

The top performers and talents can never be in the dark for too long, as Anurag Saikia appears on this week's charts at the number 2 spot. He has been having a busy year with movies as well as OTT content and after "Anek" this web series on Netflix 'Mismatched S2' boasted some good content and music. This is a ghazal version and who better to sing with panache and poise than Rekha Bhardwaj. Raj Shekhar writes the touching words and we have Anurag also playing a vocalist here. The song is produced by Guitarist Ishan Das and Oblong Sioni. You feel the love and warm embrace when you hear Rekha's voice and the Keys in the background keep the mild pathos and longing alive. Gauranga Sekhar and Arabinda Neog have done all the additional programming. Ishan Das and Abhinav Bora are the guitarists and you can hear the Sitar played by Bhagirath Bhatt. She shows us what shes made of with those delicate twists and ghamaks like in the line "sab kuch kah kar hee sab ko bataana jaruri hai kya". Bhaskar Jyoti Kalita and Kiran Vinkar play the Woodwinds in the interlude aided by some well-arranged vocal harmonies as well, the backing vocalists being Gauranga Shekhar, Bishal Sharma, Arabinda Neog, Pratikhyaa Sharma, Dipakshi Kalita and Kavya-Kriti. The impact of the Tabla by Sanjiv Sen and the bass guitars is unbelievable and there is no match to the unison of these two. Sanjiv Sen goes creative and does a very basic but enticing play on the Tabla when the stanza ends. The second interlude is a very classical intervention on the Sitar and it is just heartwarming. Nijei Nijok and Alok Punjani are the recording engineers, and the track is mixed and mastered by Pankaj Borah with Pranjal Borah as the mix assistant. I hear a mix of influences like Raag Khamaj, Raag Bilawal and Raag Yaman in various segments.




3. Then Thulli
Music: Kailas
Lyrics: B.K Harinarayanan
Singers: K.K Nishad, Sruthy Sivadas
Music Production: Ebin Pallichan & Kailas

Kailas Memon has had a very successful 2022 and I have featured all the 3 songs of the recent "Vaashi" composed by him. This is one more splendid melody composed by Kailas and produced by Ebin Pallichan and Kailas. I love that Kailas always goes all out in his instrumentals and the huge array of live instrumentalists is a huge blessing for the song. Bonny Abraham plays the Oud, Saaz that add a middle eastern flavour while Anurag Rajeev Nayan plays the Ukulele and Mandolin. KK NIshad is someone I am hearing for the first time and I am quite impressed with his voice. The background layers of the Ukulele and Mandolin are fascinating in the Anu Pallavi. Sruthy Sivadas is the female lead vocalist and she compliments the male vocals perfectly, and all this sounds amazing with Josy John on bass guitars in the background layer. Roopa Revathi joins the parade with her solo Violin and the full impact of the strings section is felt when Sruthy sings the Anupallavi in a higher pitch. The Cochin Strings comprising Josekutty, Francis Xavier, Carol, Herald, Danny, Francis, Jain M.P, Mariyadas and Sekar on Cello are a grand presence. The interlude is a cadence of all these amazing instruments beginning with the Saaz and then the Violin. Aravindh S Krishna plays the Darbuka and all the brilliant rhythm programming is by Aswin Sivadas. Sujith Hydher, Midhun V Dev, John Glady, Amal Mithu and Priyamali are the recording engineers, and we have Midhun doing the mixing and Balu Thankachen on mastering.




4. Aankehin Judi
Singer - Papon & Monali Thakur
Composer - Rahul Ram, Amit Kilam, Himanshu Joshi, Nikhil Rao

Lyrics - Varun Grover
Language: Hindi

Genre: Indie Pop
Indian Ocean the mercurial band of the 1990s has been scoring music for some amazing movies in the 2000s, like 'Peepli Live', 'Masaan', 'Gulaal' and now they have scored for 'Chakki'. I loved two songs one being "Aankhein Judi" and the other being "Kyun".
The song starts with a wonderful whistle by Rahul Ram and then some solid strumming on the guitars and bass by Nikhil Rao and Rahul Ram respectively. Then Papon takes over and does what he does best serenade! Amit Kilam can be heard playing the percussion and drums and it is now Monika Thakur's turn to become the lead vocalist. A renowned member of 'The Revisit Project', Abhay Sharma plays the Saxophone in the interlude in a scintillating style and the stanza gets better with Monika singing in the lower pitch and a simultaneous higher octave layer in the background with the lines " Tu chand, Tu Katori ". My favourite line is the one that follows going "Tu hai dason dishaen, Tu dard tu dava hai" giving so much meaning and also a tinge of sadness thanks to a possible Raag Charukesi influence. Varun Grover does a fine job with the lyrics. Mukul Jain is the recording engineer, and we have Shantanu Hudlikar on mixing and Amit Kilam on mastering.




5. Avunanavaa
Music Composed, Arranged & Produced - Leon James
Singer - Sid Sriram
Lyrics - Ramajogayya Sastry
Language: Telugu
Genre: Melody

Leon James has been riding a very tangible wave of appreciation and success in Kollywood but it is nice to see him score some good music in Tollywood as well. He ropes in the most famous vocalist in South India, and Sid Sriram does what is expected of him bringing all the elements of love to the forefront. A chorus team is a group of well-established playback singers like Sinduri Vishal, Maalavika Sundar, Sushmita Narasimhan and Triya Sushma. The sound of the Ghatam goes quite well with Keba Jeremiah's acoustic and bass guitars, and it is thanks to Leon's rhythm production. The title line is the highlight of the song as Sid brings in more variations, but it sounds even better with Vishnu Vijay's flute solo playing the same notes. Keerthana Vaidhyanthan sings the solo vocal in certain segments. Leon James as a producer/composer depends heavily on the Piano and here too we can hear all the accompaniment, especially in the stanza. The closing lines of the stanza with the string Piano chords as Sid slowly raises the pitch of delivery is fantastic to hear. Sayee Rakhsith stuns with his Solo on the Violin in the second interlude, and the flute notes we heard are now sung by the chorus. David Joseph plays the additional drums and we have Avinash Satish as the vocal producer, Lijesh Kumar as the recording engineer, and Rupendar Venkatesh on mixing and mastering.




6. Nilaathumbi Nee
Music Composed and Arranged by JAKES BEJOY
Singer: VIJAY YESUDAS
Lyrics: JOE PAUL
Music Producers: JAKES BEJOY, EBIN PALLICHAN
Language: Malayalam
Genre: Melody

Jakes Bejoy is in the thick of things and is one of the few music composers in the land who is exemplary and shows the younger lot how one can be good and consistent and never compromise on quality. Jakes has composed, arranged, programmed and co-produced the song, with Ebin Pallichan involved in the production. The initial humming and guitars by Godfrey Immanuel and Sumesh Parameshwar create that feeling of love, and romance and Vijay Yesudas stamps his authority with than unmistakable voice. Joe Paul writes the lyrics and all the lovely arrangements are thanks to the session prepared by Daniel Joseph Antony with Maneeth Manoj assisting. Vijay's voice reminds us of his father's magnificent vocal presence. During the Anupallavi we do hear some mild Lo-fi influences and it is Midhun Anand who has done the mixing. The Anupallavi which comes after the title is the best of the song with Vijay exploring the higher pitch and a strings section in the background. Josy Alappuzha plays the flute solo in the interlude along with Keys and strings in the background. The way Vijay sings in the lower vocal pitch sounds incredible and shows his wide range. The strong presence of Synths and Keyboard programming is very effective in the song. Daniel Joseph Antony and Jisto George are recording engineers.





7. Mazha Pattu
Lyrics: Anwar Ali
Singer: Govind Vasantha, Anne Amie
 Mixed and Mastered: Amith Bal
Language: Malayalam
Genre: Melody

The genius and mastery of Govind Vasantha are on full display here and he moves you into a state of amazement with the sounds, melody and lead vocals. Anne Amie is one of my favourite vocalists in India, and she can sing better than anyone else in the lower pitch, Govind picks her for this song as the perfect fit. We have Keba Jeremiah on guitars and Naveen Kumar as the bassist. Govind has composed, arranged and even sung and he probably is the composer with the most delectable voice. The male chorus is very effective and continues to keep us hooked along with the guitars and bass. The highlight is the Keyboard chords, sounding like Woodwinds, that follow and the notes just haunt you. Somehow I feel that there is an influence of Raag Keeravani. The Piano that follows in the interlude has a very strong similarity with the Piano notes that we have heard in AR Rahman's "Vennilave Vennilave". Anne Amie will make you feel heavy in the heart as she sings in the heart, and the stanza is filled with such quality and Govind shows such vulnerability as he sings "Dhoore Dhoore". The track is mixed and mastered by Amith Bal.



 
8. Aane Se Pehle
Singer/Composer - Ami Mishra
Lyrics - Kunaal Vermaa
Music Producer and Guitars - Vaibhav Pani
Language: Hindi
Genre: Indie Pop

Ami Mishra is someone I am hearing for the first time, but when I read about him I realised he has composed a couple of songs in Bollywood for famous albums like 'Hamari Adhoori Kahani' and 'Half Girlfriend'. He is no novice and you can make up your mind on that when you hear him singing like an absolute pro. He has composed the tune as well but a huge upliftment comes Vaibhav Pani's production. The sounds of the song are exquisite thanks to the programming and arrangements and he also plays the guitars. The best line is when he sings Kunaal Vermaa's amazing lines " Main main nahi tha, tere aane se pehle" followed by a mild vibrato and a superb humming. Samrat Awasthi does the backing vocals and the track is mixed and mastered by Pankaj Borah. Vaibhav does a fantastic solo intervention on guitars, and we also have a good bridge section.



9. Is Shheher Mein
Singer & Composer: Yashita Sharma
Lyrics: Yashita Sharma
Music Producer: Bhushan Chitnis
Language: Hindi
Genre: Alt-pop

I love the fact that singers just don't wait for the final call from composers to perform in a movie, but write, compose, perform and produce based on their ability and network in the music circle. Yashita Sharma has sung in '2 States' and 'Dil Dhadakne Do' but she is also an indie artist. I have featured a couple of times for songs like 'Mila Yun', and this one is another feather to her cap. The song is written, composed and performed by Yashita but produced by the famous Guitarist/Producer Bhushan Chitnius. The song belongs to the Alt-pop and Alt-Rock genre and the live instrumentalists play a vital role. Amit Gadgil is the bassist, and he also plays the synth bass, with Bhushan on guitars. Archit Shah plays the Keys while Chinmay Roy is the drummer. The pop era of the 2000s is rekindled and Yashita uses her voice to great effect to give that impression of freedom, confidence and heightened spirits. Bhaskar Sarma has mixed and mastered the track with Bhushan handling all the arrangements. Past the 2.30 minute-mark we have a bridge section with some good humming and strong guitars. Partho Pritam Das is the recording engineer, and amidst all the accompaniments, Yashita smartly uses a segment to just silence the instruments and does some improvised singing




10. Water-loo
Song Credits: Lyrics/Composition/vocals/rhythm guitars- Gurpreet Gulati (Joerocks)
Music Producer: Vaibhav Ahuja and Joerocks
LAnguage: English
Genre: Alt-rock

The song is a fantastic take on a bad unfortunate event, and how one can put a positive spin on it. Here the protagonist Gurpreet Gulati drops his phone in the Loo, and then when sees the Waterloo station in UK, he finds it to be a weird coincidence. The song is almost like a full-on solo project with Gurpreet a.k.a Joerocks writing, singing, composing, playing the rhythm guitars and co-producing it. The guitars, drums and Horns section in the background are just an impounding presence. Shailendra Wakhlu plays the lead as well as additional rhythm guitars, and let us forget the constant bass guitar support by Sajal Sharma making it ooze with funk. Vaibha Ahuja who works on all the Raman Negi compositions has played the thumping drums, he has also mixed the track, with Parth as the mastering engineer. All the cover art is by Simi Gulati. The supporting vocals we hear in the background is by Mandhir Sikander. I really look forward to the rest of the songs by this Delhi-based singer-songwriter in his upcoming EP. This is a simple song in terms of composition and structure, but the live instruments and arrangements truly more than compensate.




11. Yaar Zaahir
Singers: Ustad Rashid Khan & Palak Muchhal
Music: Sandesh Shandilya
Music producer: Himonshu Parikh
Language: Hindi
Genre: Melody

I had to rub my eyes and see it a few times to see who the composer was because right from the moment it started I assumed it was an AR Rahman score. The sounds and the opening humming with the keyboard programming were just like a leaf out of the genius' book. It felt like "Tere Bina " or "Ae Hairathe", and this meant to be a huge compliment to the composer Sandesh Shandilya. Palak Munchhal does a brilliant job of singing her lines and I am entirely consumed in the saccharine vocals. Ustad Rashid Khan is perfect in his role as the male vocalist and the strings in the background are the master stroke. Sandesh has arranged the vocal harmonies as well as the strings. Let us clap for Himonshu Parikh who has produced and programmed and been the man behind the wonderful sounds we hear. The stanza is rich as well and Rashid Khan keeps getting better and to some extent supported by Yash Mishra and Himonshu on backing vocals. Irshad Kamil writes the beautiful and touching words "Mein dhundu tere chehare ko baadal mein sada" and we have Shomu Seal as the guitarist in the track. The track is mixed and mastered by Bhaskar Sarma and we have Mandar Wadkar, Ameer Shaikh, Ranjit Prasad and Nitin Kayarkar.




12. Nee Chaaredu Kalle
Vocals: Armaan Malik & Sanjana Kalmanje
Music: Sagar Mahathi
Lyrics: Krishna Kanth
Language: Telugu
Genre: Melody

This is a musician who has been handed over some envious pedigree. The composer is Sagar Mahathi who is the son of composer Mani Sharma and he has composed, arranged and programmed this song. The vocalists are the dashing Armaan Malik who has now made a name for himself in Tollywood and the female lead is singer Sanjana Kalmanje who just got married to Sagar. The singing has some support in the form of guitars, synths and backup vocals. My favourite line is the title line and it is followed by the guitar and Tabla combination. Then you will get stunned by the Flute solo in the interlude, and the stanza has Sanjana mesmerising in full flow. The song is just full of goodness and positive energy and I cannot stop playing this on loop. It also cements the fact that Armaan Malik is probably one of India's topmost playback singers.




13. Chills
Songwriter(s) - Shalmali Kholgade
Music Producer - Sunny M.R.
Vocals - Shalmali Kholgade
Music Arrangement – ZIA & Sunny M.R.

She is undoubtedly one of India's supreme singers and composers. Shalmali Kholgade is the one name I will root for when it comes to searching for India's finest female music composer and someone who can topple any male domination in the industry. Just check out her Marathi album 'June' and her previous indie EP "2X Side A". Now it is time for '2X Side B' and it is damn good. Other than 'Chills' I also love 'Garden Variety Hater'. Shalmali excels at the writing, composing and singing parts and she gets some spectacular creativity. It is not her vocals but the superimposing vocals in the background thanks to singers like Hricha Narayana, Sianna Gomes and Harjot Kaur. Sunny MR is a master when it comes to producing, arranging and programming and he gives us a blinder here. Zafar Ansari a.k.a. ZIA and Sunny do the arrangements and it is Zafar on Keys, Synths and the Vocoder. Roland Fernandes is the bassist but a huge part of the domination comes from ZIA with the Synths and Vocoder sounds. Sunny mixes and Colin Leonard has mastered the track with Ritvik Shah as the recording engineer. The song is so catchy that we could forget to pay attention to Shalmali's brilliant vocals and improvisations.




14. Urimeytee Meghaley
Music: Mark K Robin
Vocals: Harini Ivaturi
Lyrics: Krishna Madineni

The movie 'Ghost' has some good music score by Mark K Robin and this one caught my attention the most. Harini Ivaturi is the lead singer and the song is a very pleasant melody, the semi-classical tune is aided by some creative rock and synth-heavy pop style texture. The backing vocals help and add weight especially when the notes shift higher in pitch. The strong presence of drums, electric guitars and strings makes for some excellent listening. The best line is "Nuuve Kadha, Emai na", and towards the end we have a Flute solo to help us through the outro and this is where I felt a sense of Raag Hamsadhwani. The humming by Harini and the bass guitars is a solid end to the track. Krishna Madineni is the lyricist.





15. Salooq
Singer - B Praak
Lyrics & Composer - Jaani
Music - B Praak
Arranged and programmed By Gaurav Dev, Kartik Dev
Language: Punjabi
Genre: Semi-classical Melody

After 'Sab Kuch' this song had io be featured in the album "Moh". The combination of Jaani and B Praak creates a state of amazement like the word 'Moh' itself and I am a fan of B Praak both as a vocalist and producer. Paras Nath ties you down with his flute solo and just after a brief pause, Praak makes you go weak with his vocals. This is a man who sings every syllable with his heart and his production and the arrangements by Gaurav Dev andKarthik Dev deserve praise. The Piano keeps playing in the background and the line "ek hum hain, jo tujko Khuda mante hain, ek tu haii jo humko banda bhi na maane" makes you weep thanks to Jaani's lyrics and Praak's vocals. The harmonies and flute work together in creating an impact. The use of the Tabla is just outstanding and it adds a very classical flavour to the song, and feel the playfulness of Paras' flute solo in the interlude. The second interlude is even better and the stanza is all about Praak's high-pitched vocals. The track is mixed and mastered by Gurjinder Guri and Akash Bambar.




16. Ranaji
Composer: Aabhas - Shreyas
Lyrics: Ravi
Singer: Aabhas Joshi
Music Production/Arrangement: Aabhas - Shreyas

The boys Aabhas-Shreyas just cannot be sidelined at the moment, and I just want to thank the heavens that these guys are present and performing at their highest level in the indie music scene at the moment. The duo have composed, arranged and produced the number which is part of the album 'Mehfil 2' and this is the 3rd straight week where they have been featured after "Pi ko Rijhaoon", and "Choo Le Dobara". This song is inspired by the life Sant Mira Bhai chose as she abdicated the royal life in search of Lord Krishna. Aabhas sings in a way that even if you were Lord Krishna, you would alight from the Heavens and just come and sit next to these guys performing with such poise and passion. Shreyas Joshi plays the Bouzouki and acoustic guitar and Kahaan Shah dominates the scene and setting with his solid rhythm programming taking us into some distant and rural parts of India. Hrishi Giridhar plays the electric guitar with Kamran Raza on the bass and the stanza is so beautifully written and composed that you wonder, can Aabhas and Shreyas ever do anything wrong? I could be wrong but I do sense some Raag Maand in the song. Shreyas mixes and masters the track under the Merchant Records label. The song has shades of resemblance with Salim-Sulaiman's "Yeh Honsla" from the movie 'Dor'.




17. Paakhi Hua Re
Singer - Arijit Singh
Lyricist - Priyanka R Bala
Music Composed, Produced & Arranged by - Prasad S
Music Supervisor - Piush K Setth

Language: Hindi

I recently heard that Arijit Singh picks his projects very carefully and doesn't just go about singing everything that is offered to him. I am glad he chose this fantastic melody composed, produced and arranged by Prasad S. The musician is someone I haven't heard of before and that is why I am even more thrilled. Priyanka R Bala does a fine job as well as the song's lyricist. The Piano and the guitars welcome the vocals of Arijit and we have renowned guitarists Roland Fernandes and Tushar S Joshi involved here. Prasad has excelled in the arrangements and production, as even the rhythm programming is spot on. He also plays the Harmonium in the interlude. The stanza has a layer of strings section in the background and the percussions also change. Piush K Setth is the music supervisor and Shadab Rayeen has mixed and mastered the track with assistant engineers Pukhraj & Milan. This is a very enjoyable song with an underlying melody that can stand on its own even without the excellent production and arrangements. Arijit excels too in the outro with his freestyle aalap.




18. Sabra
Vocal & Composition - Usman Shaikh
Lyrics - Usman Shaikh
Language: Urdu
Genre: Alt-Rock

The song talks about deeper messages of 'patience' and 'hope' with the word 'Sabra' taken from an Arabic phrase. The song is a beautiful Alt-rock track that is aided by strong meaningful lyrics and terrific vocals. Usman Shaikh goes solo in this project writing, composing and performing. The combination of drums and electric guitars along with some Keyboards and acoustic guitars provides the correct ornamentation for the song. Gunjan Soral. Just after the 4.30-minute mark we get some excellent instrumentals and witness a tete-a-tete of sorts between the drums and guitars. The song is a fantastic creation that uses traditional and devotional lyrics and presents in a very unique style. Jugal Kishore Das has taken care of the artwork and lyrical video.




19. Wish You The Best
Written and Composed by David Britto
Produced and Performed by Tejas Menon
Language: English
Genre: Indie Pop

David Britto is well known in the indie music circles not just as a competent musician, but also as a fabulous journalist. There can be no qualms about his understanding of music, its execution and creativity. I have featured him before but this one in my opinion is comparatively a notch or two higher. It helps the cause of the track that the super-talented Tejas Menon hops in on the project with his magnetic vocals and he has also produced the number. David writes and composes the tune but the combination works pretty well. The guitars and Keyboards are the driving force. Look out for the catchy rhythms and the solo intervention on the electric guitars. The lyrics are very interesting and almost cathartic and open asking the partner "Don't walk away, if you do I wish you the best". Jason D'Szouza has mixed and mastered the track with artwork by Blake D'Silva



20. Laan Lagi
Singer, and composer- Rashmeet Kaur
Lyrics- Poem by Bulleh Shah
Music production: Pranay Parti
Language: Hindi
Genre: Eletronic pop

Just last week we had the original work of Bulleh Shah called "Lagan Lagi" produced and composed by Midival Punditz, set in Raag Bhairav and it was an imposing track that had sadness and aggression combined thanks to Sukanya Chattoadhyay's vocals. Here we have the new music sensation Rashmeet Kaur composing and singing her tune with the original lyrics borrowed. This is just a 180-degree shift in style and mood and thanks to God for the creativity of our musicians. Pranay Parti B produces the song with basslines by guitarist Akshat Pradhan. The stanza is the clincher with modern sounds from Keyboards and synths but also has very classical notes. Rashmeet sings it with a cooler attitude, especially when she sings the line "kya kariye" at the end of the antara, but she also uses the classical style of delivering ghamakas in the places needed. Kudos to Pranay for this production. Abhishek Ghatak does the mixing and mastering.





21. Woh Saat Din ·
Composition, Lyrics: Raghav Meattle
Vocals: Raghav Meattle, Hanita Bhambri
Music Production: Ashish Zachariah
Language: Hindi
Genre: Indie pop

The simplicity of a good tune, pleasant vocals and skilled production can reap great benefits like this. Raghav Meattle a hugely experienced campaigner in the indie music space in India writes, composes and performs this track with Ashish Zachariah's production. Ashish has been featured more than a few times by me in the weekly Indian charts. The Keys, acoustic guitars and strings all add excellent colour to the song and make it rise in quality multi-fold. The best line goes" toh aa jao na , kal kisne dekha". I love the male vocal intervention like a small grunt which creates a nice sound. A sweet bridge section works quite well with Raghav showing his mettle.
