Welcome to our weekly rundown of new music – featuring must-hear singles, statement-making EPs and albums and key tracks.
This week, we’ve arguably got something for everyone. If the dancefloor is calling, then Indo Warehouse and Rashmeet Kaur’s “Chor” is the answer. If mindful introspection is your jam, then singer-songwriter Uday Benegal (from rock veterans Indus Creed) has a new EP called Human Be while pianist-composer Chad Lawson’s album Awakening: The Stillness Within has plenty of assists from Indian artists. If you need something to shake you up, Karma’s unsparing bars on the state of the nation on “Public Notice” as well as Reble’s new single “Praying Mantis,” and New Delhi band Antariksh’s bright new song “Iltija” featuring guitar ace Jack Gardiner.
