Ever been to the mountains? And loved it? And been wanting to go again since? Born and brought up in Dehradun, based in Stockholm, singer-songwriter Deepak Kamboj has released his second single Main Chala. It’s such a wanderlust invoking song that we just want to pack up and say ‘main chala… un pahado mein phir, mein chala…‘
We at ICC love all music, but we have some sweet spots, obviously. Electronic music fused with Indian vocal and relatable lyrics is one of those sweet spots. And Main Chala is just that. With warm pads and some bright vocals and piano, the song starts off with Deepak’s vocal and guitar coming in. What starts as a simple acoustic song becomes groovy at the first break. Some snares, hats, a soft yet punchy kick, and the subtle sidechain create a warm and chillhop/triphop-ish vibe. The lyrics are so well written that you will get a strong urge to pack and leave. You would want to just close your eyes and revisit your mountain vacation. Main Chala will be an OST for our next team mountain trip.
Go listen to Main Chala if you still haven’t yet!
P.S. We at ICC do not review the music we post in our magazine because we want our readers and the artiste’s listeners to go and listen to the music with an open mind! We try to describe the song the way we perceive it and why we love it!
