Rising from Delhi’s underground rap scene, Karun’s new album enlists up to fifteen collaborators, including singers and producers, and is derived from Karun’s real-life experiences. On this outing, Karun dives into a playground of genres, mirrors his inspirations, and whirls themes of self-reflection, love, loss, jealousy, and chaos. [Anjaane - Karun x Viepsa Arora | Prod By Lambo Drive | (Official Music Video) | Chehre](https://www.youtube.com/embed/87gsxyadKqA?list=OLAK5uy_msKQkxGcl7SHSDsXxjyEZkl_Wcg6eVP7k) You’ll experience emotionally charged soundscapes that muddy the lines between alt hip-hop, ambient soul, and Indian textures. ‘Chehre’ also expands Karun’s baritone voice and R&B vocals onto trap, lo-fi, and acoustic indie pop productions. As if assembling a genre-fluid tracklist wasn’t enough, every ensuing track eloquently switches between genres, captivating you with the anticipation of the following rhythm. Rattling down a few of the tracks, ‘Mere Chehre’ pulses with gorgeous harmonies, racing string segments, and steamy electric guitar parts. The smooth R&B score of ‘Tere Hothon Pe’ is jolted by bursts of qawwali-inspired hooks; ‘Komal’ sees the rapper spitting bars over tapping beats; and ‘Zubaan’ opens to spangly acoustic guitar and pays homage to AR Rahman’s ‘Satrangi Re’ through its rhythm and tonal choice. “Chehre is a *milawat*of all the things and styles I love, but above everything, it is an Indian sounds-focused album,” stated Karun. “This album is a record of my personal history, and I just don’t want to hide anymore.” *‘Chehre’ by Karun is currently streaming on all major audio platforms* **Find Karun on [Spotify](https://open.spotify.com/artist/7FvX2e6CgYllzgZ9uempWF) | [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/beingkarun)** **For more new music releases, keep up with TFword on [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/tf.word/) | [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/thefckingword) | [X](https://x.com/thefckingword)** **You May Also Like:** [TFword Spotlight: New Music Releases from Saachi, Arjun C and More](https://www.ticketfairy.com/word/2025/06/17/new-music-releases-from-saachi-arjun-c-and-more) [Sijya’s Much-Awaited Single ‘Tabla’ Is Out Now](https://www.ticketfairy.com/word/2025/06/04/sijyas-much-awaited-single-tabla-is-out-now) [DNKLE Offers Tantalizing Soundscape in ‘Obscurite’](https://www.ticketfairy.com/word/2025/05/20/dnkle-offers-tantalizing-soundscape-in-obscurite) Share [X](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketfairy.com%2Fword%2F2025%2F06%2F25%2Fkarun-skillfully-plays-with-genres-on-new-album-chehre.md&text=Karun+Skillfully+Plays+With+Genres+on+New+Album%2C+%E2%80%98Chehre%E2%80%99) [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketfairy.com%2Fword%2F2025%2F06%2F25%2Fkarun-skillfully-plays-with-genres-on-new-album-chehre.md) [WhatsApp](https://api.whatsapp.com/send?text=Karun+Skillfully+Plays+With+Genres+on+New+Album%2C+%E2%80%98Chehre%E2%80%99+https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketfairy.com%2Fword%2F2025%2F06%2F25%2Fkarun-skillfully-plays-with-genres-on-new-album-chehre.md) ## Denver C Tracking stories in music with a focus on festivals, events, gigs, and sustainability.
