RAAT KI RAANI - NEE KO, Aneesha, Konark Sikka 

‘RAAT KI RAANI’ is a new song by Aneesha and Konark Sikka under their project NEE KO. The track tells the story of a newcomer navigating Mumbai's unpredictability. Meanwhile, the lead singer, a symbolic personification of the city, sings to the madness from every street corner. Upbeat yet emotionally layered, the track feels like a sonic love letter and a gritty reality check, a wild Mumbai night wrapped in synths and swagger.

Dil Behra - KhoslaRaghu 

‘Dil Behra’ by the Indie-duo KhoslaRaghu is a refreshing take on a heartbreak. The song states the dilemma of a heartbroken guy. Despite constant warnings from his friends and his heart, this man always falls for the wrong person, who eventually leaves him and the sad hours. Although the song is about a sad storyline, the pop music adds a fun element to it. 

ATTAR - Keol 

Koel’s ‘ATTAR’ is a song of sorrow. When you lose someone, everything feels void, but when you lose someone, after you have recently tied knots with them, things are just numb. This track is about the deep sorrows the writer goes through after they’ve lost their partner. But will their dementia help them forget this pain, or will it make it worse?

Aatishein - Shaunak Chandorkar

‘Aatishein’ is the surreal feeling of falling in love with somebody at first sight. When that person enters your life, everything falls into place. You have those rainbows flashing over your eyes, magic happening in your heart and tunes playing in your mind. Shaunak beautifully captures these feelings with a little offbeat delivery that sticks with the mind. 

Zidd Hai - Abhishek Bonthu, Abdul Shaikh, Pranav Barange

When love becomes more than a feeling, it becomes your very reason to exist. ‘Zidd Hai’ is a portrayal of this emotion, a romantic pop journey of unwavering love, intense longing, and soulful devotion. 

Paralyse Mr. GnG Ft. Rudy Ayoub

‘Paralyse’ is a song from the album 'After Us, The Flood’ by the Indian rock duo Mr. GnG. The track is an outrageous cry from a person whose lover has recently broken up with them. Left in pain of heartbreak, the song speaks out the the language of betrayal through its cathartic energy and powerful guitar riffs. 

Want It All - Tsumyoki, MC Square 

‘Want It All’ is a rap banger from Tsumyoki and MC Square. This track is all about the swag when it spits out the verses. Where Tsumyoki holds the fire with his English bars in the first verse, MC Square with his Haryanvi and Hindi accents takes the paddle in the latter half. If you are a casual rap listener, then this song will entice you.
