Dizlaw Traces His Growth and Evolution in Debut EP

Desi hip-hop frontrunner Dizlaw’s debut five-song EP, ‘Dilbar,’ encases a coming-of-age story of love, loss, and closure, twined by a sumptuous blend of R&B, indie pop, and classic influences.

Quickly rising on the Indian music spectrum is Mumbai-based artist Dishant Kamble aka Dizlaw. His music echoes the hardships and demands of the current way of life and fuses elements of hip-hop with a poetic narrative.

On the heels of a collaborative outing, ‘Caramel Tax,’ Dizlaw has shipped out his maiden EP, ‘Dilbar,’ in which each song explores a growing shift in perspective from heartbreak to healing.

‘Jaani,’ a two-minute prelude of sorts, lifts the lid of the record and opens with dreary synth work in keeping with the EP’s poignant theme, gradually morphing to a dark bedroom/indie pop tone. Adding a hint of nostalgia as it unfurls to the sound of a jukebox is the title track, ‘Dilbar,’ which produces a swaying pop melody tied together with a mellow vocal arrangement, dazzling key segments, and a picky electric guitar outro.

‘Khayaal’ follows next, flooding Dizlaw’s flowing vocals over a tempo-swerving pop-rock score, mirroring the moody themes of the EP. ‘Jaata Waqt’ sits next and brings forward a tune about conflicting emotions in the face of a departure, such as the joy of moving on and the challenge of letting go. It is noted by its upbeat pop motif, cheery yet glum sonics, and bright guitar patterns.

‘Azaad’ offers a reflective dream-pop-like concoction with a grandiose feel that rounds out the EP. Released via Azadi Records, ‘Dilbar’ from Dizlaw is currently streaming on all major platforms.
