Stitched in are groovy funk undertones that become more prominent toward the outro of the song. Written, performed, and composed by Jeanne Merchant, she described the song as &#8220;a reflection of honesty, of asking difficult questions when love turns into silence.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Find Jeanne Merchant on&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/artist\/3JSGvZjELvoBZalvFCM6Zp\">Spotify<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/jeannemerchant_\/\">Instagram<\/a>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Shreya Jain, Somanshu &#8211; &#8216;Hum Dono&#8217;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Hum Dono | Official Visualiser | Shreya Jain | @somanshu\" width=\"702\" height=\"395\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dnDQGWgzu4g?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:1px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Singer-songwriter Shreya Jain and self-taught producer-singer Somanshu partnered up for a slick new dance bop titled &#8216;Hum Dono.&#8217; The duo describes a bittersweet tale of two people who completely understand each other and live in the torment of their suppressed emotions as they are unable to pair up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Somanshu&#8217;s skillful production constructs a groovy desi-pop beat that fuels this heart-rending composition. Shreya and Somanshu delicately layer their mild vocals onto this rhythm with a passion and tenderness that corresponds with the tragic lyrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Find Shreya Jain on <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/artist\/4kf4NJ3U6oSZ423DycBpMD\">Spotify <\/a>| <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/shreyajainmusic?utm_medium=copy_link\">Instagram<\/a>  and find Somanshu on <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/artist\/0q7fw7pC9FcW9AUfIw4H5H\">Spotify<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/iamsomanshu\">Instagram<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Saachi &#8211; &#8216;Cruise Control&#8217;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Saachi - Cruise Control (Official Music Video)\" width=\"702\" height=\"395\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0-l5EQYr0n8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:1px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Via her newest single, Mumbai-based singer-songwriter artist Saachi urges listeners to trot away from that inner voice that keeps demanding more from you and makes you feel that you&#8217;re constantly falling behind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The alternative\/indie-pop piece unfurls to snapping drum flows and picky bass tugs to map out a groovy R&amp;B tune. Produced by Saachi and arranged by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ticketfairy.com\/word\/2025\/02\/06\/tfword-monthly-spotlight-new-music-from-apocryphal-ankit-dayal-punya-and-more\/\">Ankit Dayal<\/a>, Saachi delivers an easygoing vocal performance, aligning with the messaging of the song, while keyboardist <a href=\"https:\/\/eerie\">Brent Tauro<\/a> shines the melody with wavy, almost eerie-like synth patches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;I wrote this song as a reminder to myself that my inner voice cannot win against the version of me that chooses love, laughter, and joy,&#8221; Saachi stated via a press release. &#8220;But on closer inspection of the song and its message, I found that we need to let go of our inhibitions and perfectionist tendencies. We need to just have fun and capture the essence of cruising.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Released on the back of <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/album\/458y9aWwbUwdhtnI0fcbat\">E.L.T.<\/a>, &#8216;Cruise Control&#8217; points the way to her upcoming debut album.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Find Saachi on&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/artist\/4Gbsv1WfhPA5JxVdu1b4R7\">Spotify&nbsp;<\/a>| <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/heyitssaach\/\">Instagram<\/a>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Arjun C &#8211; &#8216;Miracle Man&#8217;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Miracle Man\" width=\"702\" height=\"527\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NwfP6vIN8lA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:1px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Delhi\/Gurgaon-based alternative indie musician Arjun C drummed up his latest release, &#8216;Miracle Man,&#8217; smelting a smoking hot pop-rock score twined with flashy synths and upbeat tones. Usually one to keep hushed about the themes of his music, the singer-songwriter did us a solid and disclosed, &#8220;This song has a little to do with getting older in a world that is quick, almost eager, to leave you behind.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Using fast-paced guitar action, synths, and sturdy drum patterns, Arjun C creates a snazzy tune from the get-go, instantly igniting shoegaze and electronic-rock elements. As far as a listener&#8217;s takeaway from this release, the artist cheekily conveyed, &#8220;To be 10% more hopeful than they were before having heard the song. And hopefully, not hate themselves when they accidentally catch themselves humming the melody as they go about their day.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Find Arjun C on <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/artist\/3FmvshPQgeGEhIHVAwpTM3\">Spotify<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/arjunc13\/?hl=en\">Instagram<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lotus &#8211; &#8216;Share A Piece&#8217;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Lotus - Share A Piece (Visualiser)\" width=\"702\" height=\"395\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8PMgHAQfNd8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:1px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wrapped around themes of looking for something familiar in a world that is constantly altering is Bangalore\/Pune-based rockers Lotus&#8217; new single titled &#8216;Share A Piece.&#8217; Its lyrics serve as a reminder that distances develop as life moves ahead, though we try to cling to the &#8220;now&#8221; moments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lotus opens this track with raw, almost manic, drum and cymbal beatings brushed with aggressive electric guitar chords; the composition swirls between post-rock and a heavier prog-rock rhythm, matched with frontman Aman Verdi&#8217;s vocal dexterity, be it clear and smooth vocal sections or unhinged growling. On this single, you&#8217;ll find seething guitars and clanging bass yanks and a catchy sing-along lyric in <em>&#8220;So high, so far, from home.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the group, &#8220;&#8216;Share A Piece&#8217; is more than just a song\u2014it\u2019s a reflection of growth, change, and the spaces that form between what we know and what we seek.

The music evolves to a more melancholic rock score lined with an edgy rock production, flawlessly capturing a journey through a dystopian tale.
