After occupying the cover of Spotify’s Best of the Indian Indie Scene playlist amongst other significant milestones in her young career thus far, ‘Chaukhat’ fame gini has marked the impending arrival of her new album by casting out a song about her apprehensions and various aspirations.
“The fact that I wrote about it in January, before the ‘explosion’ my work as an artist received in March, made it even more special because it felt like I was living out the story I’m singing in the song,” the artist mentioned in a press statement.
Still only 18 years of age, Molfa Music’s prized possession continues to thread together whimsical soundscapes paired with heartfelt lyrics, evocative melodies, and poignant instrumentation, earning over 225,000 listeners on Spotify along the way. Following on from July’s ‘Sukoon,’ gini’s newest outing presents a take on the fears and anxieties that go with leaving and longing for a home.
While putting this composition together, the singer-songwriter shared she was “scared of leaving home, a comfortable space,” and most concerned if she would find a place outside to call “home.” Picking up with acoustic guitar strums and gini’s dulcet vocals, rhythmic percussive patterns soon ensue, framing a sombre orchestral-esque production.
Talking about the single, gini stated, “‘Aasaan‘ felt almost prophetic to me whenever I sang it because I could plot exactly where I was in life and have a part of the song be exactly that point. It’s a transition from a very comfortable sound to opening the doors for newer genres for me, and the writing is the truest form of gini.”
“After ‘Aasaan’ I’ll be experimenting with genres I haven’t done before and I can’t wait to put that music out for the world to hear,” she revealed. “‘Aasaan’ is part of a seven-song album I have in mind, exploring the two stories in-depth through the songs. It is the first of the seven songs and will set the story for it.”
Since its release, ‘Aasaan’ has comfortably racked up nearly 50K streams on Spotify, and its music video directed by Bhavna Kankaria has amassed over 106,000 views on YouTube at the time of writing.
