Widely known to concoct songs themed around love and romance, Nikhil’s latest offering sees his music on a journey, trying to clutch onto a bygone era of romance in the fast-paced and instantaneous world of today. In the [works](https://www.instagram.com/p/C9b0PGHIXN6/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==) for the last two years, Nikhil reels in the prowess of indie staples [Nathan Thomas](https://www.ticketfairy.com/word/2023/07/07/nate08-drops-groovy-house-track-inna-minute) on bass, Mitchell Murray on drums, Brent Tauro on keyboards, [Zohran Miranda](https://www.ticketfairy.com/word/2023/05/06/tfword-in-conversation-with-zohran-miranda) on guitars, and Pinky Poonawala, who serves as the lyricist for all the tracks in this compilation. Released in mid-July amidst the heavy monsoon downpour in India, the weather perfectly compliments the EP, creating the ideal environment for a listen.

Nikhil croons over strumming guitars and shiny work on the keys, building toward a strong vocal crescendo. The aforementioned ‘Muskaan’ ensues next, followed by ‘Tu Keh De Haan,’ a spirited strummy rock ballad stitched with tantalizing guitar riffs. ‘Besabar’ gives us a poignant singer-songwriter composition, complete with whistles attuned to the wavy melody, while Nikhil’s 2023 single release ‘Socho’ gets a mellowed-down acoustic rendition to close the EP.

We no longer make mixtapes, write cute letters, etc. that seemingly have become uncool. I think somewhere deep inside, everyone really yearns for that kind of cringe from their partners and friends. This EP might inspire you to relook at love in this way.” Following the release, Nikhil has made an [open invitation](https://www.instagram.com/reel/C92HdJgo0Qf/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==) on social media to everyone who has streamed his music to share in the wackiest, cutest, most adorable, and outlandish activities they carried out for their crush; this will be featured in his upcoming music video. **Find Nikhil D’Souza on: [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/nikhilmusic/?utm_source=ig_embed&ig_rid=4b5a36d9-93f1-4fe8-b8af-b34f7e00a292) | [Spotify](https://open.spotify.com/artist/39fT56OHEL2E98zDKrqBsC?autoplay=true) | [Apple Music](https://music.apple.com/in/artist/nikhil-dsouza/1360012794)** **You May Also Like:** [Nikhil D’Souza Explores the Pitfalls of Continuing a Relationship In New Single, ‘Because Because Because’](https://www.ticketfairy.com/word/2023/07/12/nikhil-dsouza-explores-the-pitfalls-of-continuing-a-relationship-in-new-single-because-because-because) [‘In My Asymmetry’ EP by Frizzell D’Souza Is Out Now](https://www.ticketfairy.com/word/2024/07/24/in-my-asymmetry-ep-by-frizzell-dsouza-is-out-now) [Kamakshi Khanna Pours Her Heart Out on New Sophomore EP](https://www.ticketfairy.com/word/2024/07/09/kamakshi-khanna-new-sophomore-ep-heartbreak-2020) Share [X](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketfairy.com%2Fword%2F2024%2F07%2F31%2Fnikhil-dsouza-releases-new-ep-leher.md&text=Nikhil+D%E2%80%99souza+Releases+New+EP%2C+%E2%80%98Leher%E2%80%99) [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketfairy.com%2Fword%2F2024%2F07%2F31%2Fnikhil-dsouza-releases-new-ep-leher.md) [WhatsApp](https://api.whatsapp.com/send?text=Nikhil+D%E2%80%99souza+Releases+New+EP%2C+%E2%80%98Leher%E2%80%99+https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketfairy.com%2Fword%2F2024%2F07%2F31%2Fnikhil-dsouza-releases-new-ep-leher.md) ## Denver C Tracking stories in music with a focus on festivals, events, gigs, and sustainability.
