Chayanat by Anirudh Varma Collective:
It’s like stepping into an ocean of timelessness. It is Hindustani classical, but with fresh currents. I love the shringaar rasa.
Gloria by Laura Branigan:
A power anthem that makes me want to dance, dream, and roar all at once. I’ve been jumping to this one since I was a teenager — unapologetic energy at its best, and a pick-me-up song.
Baisa – Shades of Cashmere by Shashwat Sachdev:
It’s a groovy Rajasthani beat and folk song beautifully produced by Shashwat. An ode to femininity, delicate and fierce at the same time.
