Radio City Freedom Recommends Latest Hits by Your Favourite Indie Artistes Edition 29

Pune trio Sulfurcloud speak of rekindling former love with the psychedelic Mystery. Featuring guitarist-vocalist Peeebeee, bassist-vocalist/arranger Ravi Nair and drummer Bikrant Kaushik, the song is the bands first release from its upcoming four-track EP, Brand New Life, whose subsequent tracks will witness release, every fortnight, starting from June 25th, 2021.

The debut single of Pune-based duo, Baatein by Vishal and Krishna is a sweet fusion of Hindi and Telugu verses depicting the innocence of new-found love, regardless of its consequences. A perfect accompaniment for long-drives, this monsoon.

Featuring vocalist Biprorshee Das, guitarists Vigneshkumar Venkatraman and Akash Kar, Jay Thacker on drums and Riju Dr. Hex Dasgupta on bass, Mumbai-based Albatross deploys horror and heavy metal, to give us a grim narrative that plays out as an audio comic. Featuring a masterfully curated video by Varun Panchal of Carnage Inc. fame, the song visually encapsulates the mind of a disturbed soul who seeks pleasure in killing women and offering them to Neptune, the water God.

The first single to release from his ambitious third album, Made in Jaffna, a fourteen-track presentation, Toronto-based Tamil rapper Shan Vincent de Paul taps unto the uglier but real self of an individual that never gets highlighted on his/her social media pages. The artiste implies that the composition came from a very personal space that was filled with rage and angst. Accompanied by a pulsating music video featuring Paris-based choreographer and Bharatanatyam exponent Usha Jey, Savage is ferocious and high-on-energy.

Following the stupendous success of her full-length album, 4 AM in 2020, 17-year old Kiara Chettri returns with the immensely melancholic Why, a celebratory note to loneliness and sadness, which displays the young artistes ability to conquer global charts in the future.

For many seeking closure on a love that had an unceremonious ending, singer/songwriter Tejas infuses hope and liberates the jilted with Story from his sophomore release, Outlast. A song that has been in the making since eleven years, the artist pays an ode to his first love.
