SCORE INDIE QUICKIE
KAMAKSHI KHANNA
Let ' s start with your previous single " Qareeb ". It took the internet by storm . Being your first hindi single , what were some of your apprehensions before you put it out ? Did you expect this kind of a response ?
The response to Qareeb has been so overwhelming and fulfilling and I see it as a testament to the fact that reinventing yourself , trying new things and experimenting is always worth exploring and I ’ m so grateful that people have been accepting and excited about that . On a normal day I struggle to write and think poetically in Hindi . However , with this particular song , the process of writing didn ’ t feel any different than how I write in English . It felt spontaneous and natural and stylistically the song is still RnB which is where a huge part of the inspiration for my English music comes from . I feel like this song has been a really interesting amalgamation of my influences to create something that feels very authentic and unique to me . Working with producers , Anhad + Tanner and Guitarist , Pranav Pahwa elevated the song beyond what I would ’ ve ever envisioned .
