“There is a Punjabi song with sitar in it. I don’t think anybody has done that before,” says Rajarshi Sanyal, one half of Indian pop music band Faridkot. Regaling us with their new music, the band is set to release their third album a decade after ‘Phir Se?’ in 2014 and ‘Ek’ in 2011.
Like all good things, their new EP ‘Ibtida’, showcases their evolution as singers and musicians. It is also what they are counting on, in what could be considered as new beginnings for them. For starters, the former Delhi-based band, which was formed in 2008, now calls Mumbai their home and is loving every moment of making music here.
IP Singh, the other half of the duo that comprises the indie-pop band, says, “The EP ‘Ibtida’ is an ode to new beginnings and our new studio in Mumbai. Both of us moved to Mumbai - I moved eight years ago, and Raj moved five years ago. In that amount of time, we have our own studio, are making music, and signed with T-Series. There are times when you feel so much love and gratitude but also excitement for all the new things that are happening in your life.”
