Pune-bred singer-songwriter Karshni collaborates with electronic music producer Sanjay Das aka philterSoup on the hypnotic “Long Gone.” The new song features Karshni’s mature songwriting and mellifluous vocals while philterSoup builds a wide sonic canvas filled with dancey yet melancholic soundscapes for the track.

Shachi Shetty – “YOU”
