The way people fall out of love so quickly and how superficial relationships are in the new age.” ‘Samjhe Na’ begins with haunting piano stabs unhurriedly slipping in recurring pulsing ticking sounds, all laid over a mat of folk meets hip-hop themes. Mellow fires out quick rap bars, while singer and composer Siya Gupta produces a mesmerizing vocal section on the Hindi-worded track. This release preludes Mellow’s upcoming EP ‘Falsafa,’ illustrated in the Devanagari script on the song’s artwork. [Samjhe Na (feat.

The artist heaped praise on collaborator Siya Gupta, who featured on the song, noting, “Siya is an amazing singer, keen to work hard and be with the song completely. It is amazing how she trusted the process and kept giving her input as well to improve on it.” To better understand ‘Samjhe Na,’ we asked Mellow about the writing and recording process, and he explained that the tune was inspired by a duet of vocal sections, similar to Kendrick Lamar’s ‘We Cry Together.’ He says, “Me and Apurva Kedia wrote the lyrics, we worked out two versions of the song. It was very clear to us that there needed to be a back-and-forth between the guy and the girl. The production was inspired by the Ali Sethi song [‘Left Right’](https://open.spotify.com/track/1WMImncoIZZ7Bz0Y6cZGVp?autoplay=true) which is an amazing song.” > [View this post on Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cydlss3KD7i/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading) > > [A post shared by Siddhant Nanda (@siddhant\_nanda\_music)](https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cydlss3KD7i/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading) Mellow told us that musical inspirations include hip-hop duo Seedhe Maut, beat-maker Sez on the Beat, and rappers Talha Anjum and Prabh Deep. He added to it, explaining, “the amount of depth in their lyrics and their rap style is what inspired me to start rapping. Sez on the Beat is, of course, my favorite producer, I love his sampling and his beats.” ‘Samjhe Na’ is currently streaming on all audio platforms. Look out for Mellow’s upcoming song ‘Pareshaan’ arriving on November 21, and more music from his upcoming EP ‘Falsafa’ soon! ***Song Credits:*** *Performed, produced, and programmed: Siddhant Nanda Vocals: Siya Gupta Lyrics: Apurva Kedia and Siddhant Nanda Recorded: Prateek Sarkar Mixed and Mastered: Rahul Uikey aka Oddsol* **Find Mellow on: [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/siddhant_nanda_music/?hl=en)| [Spotify](https://open.spotify.com/album/2uXW1SWcytUfRH3RTwPQsW) | [Apple Music](https://music.apple.com/in/artist/mellowonthebeat/1595573856)** **Check out more new releases from Indian artists –** [Spotify Embed: TFword Selects: Fresh Indian Releases](https://open.spotify.com/embed/playlist/4SmF4ohkGecVUj9rDLBz6D?utm_source=oembed) **You May Also Like:** [Specter and Tienas Team Up for New Single, ‘Milkman’](https://www.ticketfairy.com/word/2023/11/03/specter-and-tienas-team-up-for-new-single-milkman) [Pratika and PrabhuNeigh Release Debut EP, ‘Growing Up’](https://www.ticketfairy.com/word/2023/10/26/pratika-and-prabhuneigh-release-debut-ep-growing-up) [RANJ x Clifr Drop New EP, ‘Antihero’](https://www.ticketfairy.com/word/2023/10/20/ranj-x-clifr-drop-new-ep-antihero) Compartir [X](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketfairy.com%2Fes%2Fword%2F2023%2F11%2F15%2Fmellow-releases-folk-and-hip-hop-inspired-new-single-samjhe-na.md&text=Mellow+Releases+Folk+and+Hip-Hop+Inspired+New+Single%2C+%E2%80%98Samjhe+Na%E2%80%99) [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketfairy.com%2Fes%2Fword%2F2023%2F11%2F15%2Fmellow-releases-folk-and-hip-hop-inspired-new-single-samjhe-na.md) [WhatsApp](https://api.whatsapp.com/send?text=Mellow+Releases+Folk+and+Hip-Hop+Inspired+New+Single%2C+%E2%80%98Samjhe+Na%E2%80%99+https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketfairy.com%2Fes%2Fword%2F2023%2F11%2F15%2Fmellow-releases-folk-and-hip-hop-inspired-new-single-samjhe-na.md) ## Denver C Tracking stories in music with a focus on festivals, events, gigs, and sustainability.
