Lyla, Mayuresh A. – Bookmarks 

The new four-track debut EP Bookmarks is an emotive journey encapsulated by Mumbai-based artists Lyla and Mayuresh A. With a fusion of Lyla’s poignant lyricism and Mayuresh’s evocative melodies, each track serves as a chapter in the narrative of self-discovery, navigating life’s ebbs and flows. “More Than Coffee Less Than Cocaine” muses on balance amidst change, while “Goldfish!” delves into the depths of loneliness and disorientation. “Perpetual” embodies the solace found in belonging, and “Hem of Your Shirt” tenderly explores the nuances of love and serenity. Set against an electronica-chill backdrop, Bookmarks offers a soulful soundtrack for introspection, whether on the move or in quiet reflection. 

Kamakshi Khanna – “I Blew It!” 

New Delhi-bred singer-songwriter Kamakshi Khanna‘s latest offering “I Blew It!” marks a compelling chapter in her musical journey, showcasing her versatility and emotive storytelling. As a seasoned indie singer-songwriter, Khanna unveils a synth-pop gem that delves into the complexities of romantic encounters with raw authenticity. Capturing the essence of awkwardness and social anxiety, the track resonates with listeners who have navigated the nerve-wracking terrain of crushes and first dates. Khanna’s soulful vocals and evocative lyrics paint a vivid portrait of vulnerability and self-discovery, inviting listeners into a world where love is both exhilarating and daunting.
