AATMA <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DTfkRtqE9Vw\/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&amp;igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==\">referred<\/a> to the track as &#8220;a slow emotional start that reflects finding peace within yourself.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-spotify wp-block-embed-spotify wp-embed-aspect-21-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: Ehsaas\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/6JJTIzEJIH5scb3SKTbUlY?utm_source=oembed\"><\/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\">&#8216;<strong>Subah<\/strong>&#8216; (Morning) ensues, flowing with a steady, melodic techno groove laced with delicate string parts, reminiscent of a sarod or sitar. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DT2VOvnCGsx\/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&amp;igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==\">According<\/a> to the artist, Subah &#8220;captures the quiet transition between night and day.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8216;<strong>Mehfil 89<\/strong>&#8216; blossoms with hefty basslines and racing orchestral segments, pulsing with a speedy melody akin to the kind that surfaces in an Indian film during a celebratory gathering.

It is about noticing emotions we often ignore while chasing things outside of ourselves. Over the years, I have been travelling, playing shows, unlearning, and spending time alone with my thoughts, which made me realize how deeply Indian classical sounds are tied to feeling rather than structure.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe response to the tracks released has been deeply encouraging, with listeners across different audiences connecting with the music.
