Tu Hai Jahan - Maan Panu

"Tu Hai Jahan" is a soothing-melodic track about Maan Panu's morning. The song translates his thoughts after he woke up from a dream. The essence of the song takes him back to the times when his love of life was with him. Do the moments, the memories and her presence still remain at those places, or should he wake up to reality once again? asks the writer. 

Pehli Baar - Khevna & Kartikeye 

"Pehli Baar" is an indie-pop Hindi single that captures the magic of falling in love again after heartbreak. It offers hope to anyone afraid to open their heart once more, like falling in love for the first time all over again. If you are in for a slothy feel to your ear, this song is a must-listen. 

Tumse Baatein -  Kalp

When you fall in love with a soul, your every story starts with their chapter, your every day starts with their sunshine and your every journey starts with their heartbeat. "Tumse Baatein" by Kalp is a beautiful creation that shares the idea of belonging from one end forever.

Saraswati - Anirudh Varma Collective ft. Sowmya Gurucharan, Rohan Prasanna, Varun Rajasekharan

"Saraswati" by Anirudh Varma Collective is an ode to the Goddess Saraswati, celebrating her as the very embodiment of music. In this composition, the team basks in the auspicious world of Ragam Saraswati - a contemporary exploration of a traditional Kriti composed by the great Shri Harikesanallur Muthiah Bhagavatar. 

Habibi - Samad Khan & Bharath

If you are in for some desi-pop music and a hint of craziness, then this song by Samad Khan & Bharath is for you. "Habibi" brings out ultra energy and fun, leaving an infectious smile on your face. Samad Khan has aced the vocals of a male and a female seamlessly in this izhar-e-song.

Kahaaniya - Arpit Massey

"Kahaaniyan" by Arpit Massey is about what love is and how it changes a person inside out. It showcases the purity of love beyond any expectations. Unconditional love for a person, which only grows with time and nurtures like a world of its own, is the highlight of the track. 

Ek Tarfa - Devel

"Ek Tarfa" by Devel is a perfect blend of melody and rap. The rap starts with the smooth vocals that dive straight into thumping rap about heartbreak. The song narrates the story of one-sided love that will never get to listen to the heartbeat from the other end.

Trains - Ankit Shrestha

Ankit Sreshtha puts a slice of journal from his London journey in the form of "Trains." The lyrics of this song are a little snapshot of those surreal, fast-paced moments—the flickering tunnel lights, strangers rushing by, and the big questions that hit him out of nowhere. It’s a mix of random observations and feelings, trying to capture that weird, beautiful in-between space the subway always had for the writer.
