Mukhatib - Salman Elahi

Azaad - Utsavi Jha 

"Azaad" is one of the songs of Utsavi's debut EP "Khata". This song is about rationalising events that lead to heartbreak as a necessary part of healing. But sometimes, we wish we could keep rationality aside for just a moment and allow ourselves to feel and express ourselves. Release the anger that comes with dealing with inconsideration.

Ittar - Purbid 

"Ittar" is about the time when Purbid fell in love with someone. He was mesmerised by their personality and instantly felt a jolt of affection when he met them for the first time. Even though the person is not with him anymore, he thinks their thoughts are enough for him to feel their energy and aura. 

Hope - Druv Kent

Druv's "Hope" is a song about one thing that the world needs right now. In the face of it all, there is one beautiful and resilient emotion we can turn to; Hope. This song is specifically for kids who amidst war, climate change and anxiety need hope. 

Ek Arsa - Subhankar & Manoj

"Ek Arsa" by Subhankar & Manoj is a song about anticipating love. This heartfelt melody captures the essence of love and longing where the writer is waiting for them to come into his life. It's been years but the wait gets longer without any sign of them. 

Fursat - Ramil Ganjoo 

"Fursat" is an intimate journey of the search for a place to call home. Against the fast-paced backdrop of Mumbai, this track offers a reflective ode to the moments of stillness we yearn for amidst the chaos of life in the city.

Zehreeli - The Rish 

"Zehreeli" by The Rish is a song that reflects the emotional intensity and complexity of relationships, set against the backdrop of rich R&B influences. The writer sheds light on the rollercoaster of emotions that one goes through when they first meet the person they’re falling for.  It feels like infatuation at first but turns into a deeper love for them by the end of the story.
