Here, to brighten your weekend, are 6 songs which have been a-repeating on my playlist.
- Dil Beparvah: From the lovely film Yeh Ballet, this gorgeous song with its heartbreaking refrain:
Is dil ki aadat yahi hain
Gir kar sambhalta nahin hai
Zaalim samajhta nahi hai
Yeh koi zubaan
Yeh dil beparvah
- Madhubala by Amit Trivedi:
From music composer and singer Amit Trivedi comes this melodious number and cute video to boot!
- Buniyaad by the Yellow Diary
Honestly I didn’t even know of this band until I heard one of their songs on an Instagram video. This is Buniyaad from their album Izafa, and yes their lead singer does have a rather distinctive voice – not the kind of voice I think would necessarily stay on repeat in your head, but it does, and how!
- Tu Hee Hai by Ankur Tewari and Ghalat Fehmi (Family?) :
Another one by Ankur Tewari. Tu hee hai sounds like a song your parents would have listened to but then again it’s somehow so new agey! Tewari is some kind of genius!
- Sage by Ritviz
Pune based singer Ritviz Srivastava shot to fame when he won the 2017 Bacardi House Party Sessions talent hunt. This song is unusual but grows on you so. Also one of the loveliest videos I’ve seen recently!
- Wagairah Wagairah by Ankur Tewari and The Ghalat Family
This song develops so slowly and mildly that you almost miss the Wagairah Wagairah at the end. Quite stunning.
