“ Ariana Grande has always been a constant . Alec Benjamin ’ s music has really been on loop these last few months , especially ‘ Oh My God ’. I ' ve also had a major throwback vibe going on , listening to Craig David , Backstreet Boys and all the nostalgic gems .”

This single is very soulful & beautifully composed by Amaal . Arijit has taken it to another level . I was glad to arrange live rhythms for this track . We did this track during the lockdown .

This track will always be special to me since it ’ s my first single .
Sanjeev Thomas
“ Love the new Tom Misch album ... Also been lately tripping to a lot of HIP HOP both old and new . I usually don ' t get driven with a lot of commercial music , but artists like Drake and LOFI playlists have definitely occupied my music listening .
At a time like this , anything to lift my spirits up , help me shake or dance is a great vibe . Lofi playlists definitely bring in a vibe of chill which is also great to hang with during this period of slowdown .”

“ I loved Dhruv Visvanath ’ s ‘ Dark ’ for his incredible songwriting & arrangement , Siddhanth Bhosle ’ s ‘ Din Aur Raatein ’ for its simple pop production , making an ear worm of a song & Jacob Collier ’ s ‘ All I Need ’ feat Mahalia & Ty Dolla $ ign for it ’ s sheer brilliance & amazing vocals .”
Kanchan Daniels
• I shall believe - Sheryl Crow .
This song is like the chamomile tea of my playlist
• Mellow My Man - The Roots .
This was my go-to pick-me-up song . I ' d wake up listening to this even before I had my coffee .
• What The World Needs Now - Tank and Bangas .
Self explanatory .”
ICONYK AKA Nikhil Malik
“ A lot of 80 ’ s pop music got me through the lockdown . Other than that , City Life by Raghav Meattle , Tu Hai Kaun by G16 , Boyblanck & Karm Solah and Nights by Frank Ocean were my favourite lockdown jams because they instilled faith that there are better days awaiting us . “
