Beyond the mainstream music and artists is yet another musical sphere that is currently rising to recognition. Indie musicians in India do not come with a silver platter of their own. It is a known fact that Bollywood music reigns complete superiority over the major chunk of the general public, because of a lot of resources, of course. Indie artists, on the other hand, are employing their blood, sweat and tears to make their music heard. However, all is definitely not lost for independent musicians, since there is a massive crowd who loves the kind of music that Indie artists provide. With social media sites like Instagram and YouTube, it has definitely become easier to reach your targeted audience.
We present some soul-soothing and beautiful original music compositions by artists you might want to stumble upon and explore more of their discography.
Pahado Mein – Salman Elahi
Ever wondered what might be the best song for a road trip to the mountains? Well, Salman Elahi has delivered a song just for that! Pahado Mein feels synonymous to the fresh air you breathe in the green and white covers of the Himalayas. For trekkers and people who often pack their bags and leave to the higher curvy roads, this song will be the perfect bittersweet reminders of why you love the mountains and the hills and the nature so much. Salman Elahi, with his pleasant vocals, has created a much needed masterpiece indeed!
Mazaak – Anuv Jain
Anuv Jain has amassed a loyal fan following with his exceptional talent in singing and songwriting. His latest release, Mazaak, was an anticipated one. After releasing beautiful melodies like ‘Baarishein’ and ‘Mishri’ it is not quite surprising that with every upcoming release of his, people have unbounded expectations from him, and Anuv Jain never disappoints. Mazaak is a song narrating the sweetness and serenity that lies in love. It is a celebration of human love, the uncertainty of it, and the disbelief we’re in of its warmth, promises, and beauty.
Muskan – Dikshant
Dikshant is a singer-songwriter. He writes songs in three languages: Hindi, English and Marathi. Dikshant’s perspective towards human emotions is quite different, a more sensitive approach, and this manifests into the words he pens down. His song ‘Muskan’ is a living example of how Dikshant sees human emotions. Through this song, Dikshant has captured the unmatched moments of unbounded happiness when you meet the person you love, especially if it’s a love challenged by time and distance. ‘Muskan’ brings lyricism, melody and soulful vocals, all at the same place.
Khatam – Pratyush Dhiman
Pratyush Dhiman pens down the incomprehensible and heartbreaking feelings of a love that fades away, a love that you lose. ‘Khatam’ is that song track which speaks of your inner feelings of sorrow and angst. Your known ones can not empathise the rejection and despair that follows a heartbreak, and this is when songs and music alike come to understand you, and be your company in the loneliness. This is Pratyush Dhiman’s one of many exceptional songs, in which his own unique element is loud and vivid.
