Krishaa holds on to history
Kishaa released a single called ‘Hold on to History’
Hungama Artist Aloud launched ‘Holding Onto History’, a single by independent music artist Krishaa. The track, with lyrics on modern-day relationships, weaves together Krishaa’s smooth vocals with feelings of hope, longing and hurt, which makes the song empathetic.
Krishaa took to classical Indian music at a young age before transitioning to western music. Inspired by Taylor Swift, she bought an acoustic guitar when she was 13 years old and has not looked back ever since. Her first single, ‘Against the Tide’, was released in 2019. Speaking about her latest single, Krishaa says, “I love writing about love, friendship, acceptance and self-discovery. This song is for all those who have been betrayed and for them to know that they are not alone. I hope the song resonates with teenagers and young adults.”

Vineet Hukmani on a steady rise
Vineet Singh Hukmani’s new single ‘Turning Back Time’
A peppy synth-pop track, ‘Turning Back Time’ is all about delving into memories to help keep hopes and desires alive for the future.“Our memories are an abundant source of so much love we have felt and can be a wonderful ‘map of desire’ that we need back in our lives, for the future. The music is designed to make you slightly ‘rewind’ to the wonderful years of sweet synth-based pop melodies as created by synth-pop legends like Daft Punk and yet the song is enhanced technically and musically with today’s production effervescence and pop chart relevance,” says Vineet.
The new upbeat single was preceded by a song called ‘I Pray’ (June release), which marked the artist’s debut into the genre of hip-hop.
