If you can’t remember the last time city-based indie-pop musician Raghav Meattle’s name popped up on your favourite music festival’s roster, you’re not alone. Speaking from his Bandra residence, Meattle, once a familiar face at live shows, pauses for a moment, then recalls, “It’s been a while, at least two years,” he laughs when we ask him about his hiatus. In a month’s time, Meattle will set out on an India tour with Intezaar Tera, his new collaborative studio album.
The title of the 32-year-old’s new album seems apt for more reasons than one. Written as an ode to long-distance relationships, the album also comes after a six-year-long wait for his fans after Songs From A Matchbox, Meattle’s debut studio album released in 2018. “While the debut album was more cohesive and had a strong sonic identity, Intezaar Tera is much like a mixtape. Nine songs stringed together by the overarching theme of longing, yet musically diverse,” he reveals.
