[Denver C](https://www.ticketfairy.com/word/author/denverctf.md) 30 July 2024 · 2 min read ***Delhi-based musician Shivang Arora has fired out a brand new single, ‘I Killed a Man (in my dream),’ which explores feelings of guilt, regret, and remorse.*** Catapulting ahead in seemingly all the right directions from his previous works, including ‘[NKNSM](https://open.spotify.com/album/7dIh7lXjlICHjxPRySzb5E)‘ – a fusion rock tune smudged with Hindustani vocals, soulful jazz number ‘[Water Is Blue](https://open.spotify.com/album/6RkYIhalXtKUkUGE3Mndlg)‘ and his sublime Hindi-worded four-track EP ‘[Ye Pal](https://open.spotify.com/album/2hay9exspu9qLStY8P0l8V),’ singer-songwriter Shivang Arora’s newest outing is a gritter/heavier sound swathed in distorted guitars and thumping drum action. Shivang says he took time away “to spend time trying to find my calling in music and craft my sound,” after his last composition, ‘[Broken Mirror](https://open.spotify.com/album/4oc6kGEvJ1NbD7446xmS1S)‘ (February 2023). His latest piece is swirled together, drawing influences from alternative rock/grunge icons Nirvana, Australian rockers Silverchair, Indian rock legends Parikrama, the likes of rock bands Agnee, Parvaaz, aswekeepsearching, Antariksh, and alternative/indie musician [Komorebi](https://www.ticketfairy.com/word/2023/08/26/komorebi-continues-the-tale-of-kiane-on-new-single-watch-out). Interestingly, Shivang was also on [support duties](https://www.instagram.com/p/C2PdMJcyNz3/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==) for Komorebi during her performance in Delhi earlier this year, as part of her ‘The Fall’ album launch tour. Listening in, ‘I Killed a Man (in my dream)’ delivers a grim intro before steering in Shivang’s raspy vocals over an alternative rock theme. The gloomy string arrangements continue to form a canvas over which blazing guitar riffs and plucky bass chords ensue. Guitarist Jerry Allen flexes his guitar-playing skills, delivering ferocious guitar solo parts, one of which concludes this grunge ballad.

Speaking of the track, Shivang conveyed, “‘I Killed a Man (in my dream)’ dives into the heavy feelings of guilt and regret through vivid storytelling and a powerful sound. The song tells a dream-like tale of making mistakes under a supposed trance, reflecting the weight of past actions.” **Song Credits** – *Vocals, Lyrics, Composition, Rhythm Guitar, Production, Arrangement, Mix and Master: Shivang Arora Drums: Raghav Bhutani Lead Guitar: Jerry Allen Bass: Ameen Singh Artwork: Tanishqa Trivedi Animations: Chinmay Patkar* **Find Shivang Arora on: [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/shivang.wav/)| [Spotify](https://open.spotify.com/artist/5lHi39TQyn9JiuZk0BFbu0)** **You May Also Like:** [Gaurav Jagwani Announces Second Album With New Single, ‘Away’](https://www.ticketfairy.com/word/2024/03/29/gaurav-jagwani-announces-second-album-with-new-single-away) [Karan Barnabas’ New Single Is a New Beacon for Progressive Rock](https://www.ticketfairy.com/word/2024/07/29/karan-barnabas-new-single-blueshift-horizon-progressive-rock) [Urban Breeze Yearns For An Escape in New Single ‘Nayi Seher’](https://www.ticketfairy.com/word/2024/06/18/urban-breeze-new-single-nayi-seher-no-binary) Share [X](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketfairy.com%2Fword%2F2024%2F07%2F30%2Fshivang-arora-i-killed-a-man-in-my-dream-new-single.md&text=Shivang+Arora+Offers+up+a+Gutsy+Grunge+Score+on+%E2%80%98I+Killed+a+Man+%28in+my+dream%29%E2%80%99) [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketfairy.com%2Fword%2F2024%2F07%2F30%2Fshivang-arora-i-killed-a-man-in-my-dream-new-single.md) [WhatsApp](https://api.whatsapp.com/send?text=Shivang+Arora+Offers+up+a+Gutsy+Grunge+Score+on+%E2%80%98I+Killed+a+Man+%28in+my+dream%29%E2%80%99+https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketfairy.com%2Fword%2F2024%2F07%2F30%2Fshivang-arora-i-killed-a-man-in-my-dream-new-single.md) ## Denver C Tracking stories in music with a focus on festivals, events, gigs, and sustainability.
