Deep Dive
‘Rehgayi’, is the debut single by singer-songwriter Amy Mamtura. This Indian-born & Toronto-based indie artiste has cooked a simple yet sweet and romantic vibe with Rehgayi.
Rehgayi starts with a soulful finger-picking lick that instantly puts you in a very indie mood. The subtle palm muting adds rhythm to the whole arrangement. Feel free to tap your feet or bob your head along! The lyrics, penned by Amy, explore the idea of being smitten by love. It’s like, the protagonist, a little shy to confess her love, is sending this song as a proposal to her love interest.
A short song, Rehgayi, keeps you wanting for more. Each verse is followed by a soulful violin solo, giving you time to reminisce your own romantic story. The orchestral sounds add a touch of Indianness to the song making it a soundtrack to a music video from an 80s or 90s Bollywood movie.
Brownie points to the producer, mix, and master engineer, Ashwin Vinayagamoorthy, for a job well done in the studio! From the choice of instrumentations to the arrangement and structure, Rehgayi is a loop-worthy song.
Go give it a listen and reminisce your love story again with Rehgayi by Amy Mamtura!
P.S. We at ICC do not review the music we post in our magazine. We want our readers and the artiste’s listeners to listen to the music with an open mind as we try to describe the song the way we perceive it and why we love it!
