Rhea Raj – Commotion EP
Rhea Raj’s Commotion EP, released on Aug. 6, 2025, is a bold alt-pop project about heartbreak, self-discovery, and confidence. Across tracks like “Killer” and “Mumbai,” she introduces sleek synths, trap-inspired beats, and catchy hooks to tell a story of moving from pain to empowerment.
Dhanji, Reble, Clifr – “Only Uparwala Can Judge Me”
Dhanji and Reble team up on “Only Uparwala Can Judge Me,” a rap track produced by Clifr. With heavy bass and shifting melodies, it gives both artists space to deliver confident verses and unfiltered energy. The message is clear—only a higher power can judge them.
Yashraj – “Pissed Off”
Yashraj’s “Pissed Off” gets a striking visual treatment directed by Bhagyesh Rajeshirke, with the artist himself as creative director. The video dives into themes of rage, repression, and rebellion through a surreal storyline where a mad scientist tries to implant a “3P chip” into Yashraj’s brain.
OAFF and Savera – “Matcha”
OAFF and Savera’s “Matcha” is a light and playful track born out of a rainy afternoon two years ago, when canceled plans and a missing cup of matcha set the mood. Released on Aug. 7, the lighthearted track, with its electronic pop sound, is elementally perfect for summertime. Effortless in its charm, the track captures the magic that the acclaimed duo creates. Groovy and cozy, its mellow vibe could be the soundtrack to your next Matcha run.
Janisht Joshi, Anumita Nadesan, Shikhar – “Yeh Duniya Jala Do (Glittery Cut)”
“Yeh Duniya Jala Do (Glittery Cut)” strips back Janisht Joshi’s original for a softer, more intimate take. With Anumita Nadesan’s vocals and Shikhar’s guitar work, the track turns into a lo-fi reflection—carrying the ache of Pyaasa, but voicing it in a quiet, unguarded way.
Saahel – “Baarish Mein Phir”
Released on Aug. 1, “Baarish Mein Phir” is a fresh pop single by Saahel, clocking in at just under three minutes. The track feels like a gentle monsoon moment set to reflective, moody music, like stepping out in the pouring rain to soak in all its wistful charm.
Sijya – “I Only Want To Crash”
Sijya’s haunting new single “I Only Want To Crash” arrives as the opening track on her upcoming EP Leather & Brass, set for release on Sept. 12, via One Little Independent Records. Produced, recorded and written by the singer, the dreamy, synth-laden production transports you to a familiar unknown. Sonically ethereal and forlorn, the track is an apt addition to your 3 AM playlists.
Yung Sammy, Wamp – “Silence”
Yung Sammy and Wamp’s “Silence,” released on Aug. 1, is a short but striking track from the Indo-Nigerian rapper. The track’s smooth flow and 2000s R&B production are bound to make you groove. Produced by Wamp, there will be everything but silence once this track starts playing through the speakers.
Mary Ann Alexander – “Good Girl”
Mary Ann Alexander’s “Good Girl” is a smooth R&B track with soft vocals and laid-back production. With layered vocals and bars that rival the likes of Doja Cat, the track is reminiscent of early 2000s hip-hop and R&B, displaying her multifaceted prowess for rap, vocals, and composition. The Bengaluru-based singer-songwriter is the first Indian musician, along with twenty global artists, to be selected by the Jameson Distilled Sounds 2025, where she would be mentored by three-time Grammy-winning rapper, singer-songwriter, and record producer Anderson .Paak.
Brodha V – “Om”
Brodha V’s “Om” is a track that brings together his sharp rap delivery with Indian musical influences. Released on Aug. 7, it reflects his signature style of mixing strong lyrics with cultural elements. A poetic and poignant reflection of the artist’s eternal struggle with self and society, the verses weave a compelling narrative, with the calming chants of the Gayatri Mantra reverberating in the chorus.
Waazir Patar – WZR TANK EP
The Punjabi singer and producer returns with WZR TANK, a gritty anthology with collaborations with Roop Bhullar, Hukam, and Santali. Released on Aug. 11, it is a hefty mix of Punjabi Pop and Gangsta Rap. The four-part EP cements the artist’s sonic versatility.
W.i.S.H – Sweetburn
W.i.S.H has dropped their debut album, Sweetburn, on Aug. 11. A bilingual blend of Afro-Pop, synth-pop, and electronic beats, there is a track in store for everyone. Be it the catchy “Bolo Bolo” or the power-packed “Therapy,” Wishstars can look forward to a genre-defying experience. A concoction of contradictions, it’s a rejection of sonic binaries, blending the distinct artistry into one versatile album.
Anhonymouss – “Deja Who?“
Straight from Kottayam, Kerala, Anhonymouss, aka Anoh Jacob Biju, released a new song, “Deja Who”, on Aug. 9. Collaborating with producer HVSH and ace lyricist Devoid, the track is a sonic amalgamation of three unique identities merged into one. Carrying forward a liminal theme, “Deja Who?” revolves around an autobiographical state of delusion. While it’s all transpiring in their heads, the artists believe that they’re being haunted by an imaginary enigma who is stealing their things. With evocative melodies and rhythmic 808s, the satirically infused song grows on you with each listen.
NATE08 – “Where Are You Tonight” (Ft. Dishaan and Mallika)
Released on Aug. 8, “Where Are You Tonight,” featuring Dishaan and Mallika Barot, is a soulful yet vibrant track. Synonymous with golden hour sunsets and bumping into your soulmate at a house party, the deep house song is laden with sentimental seduction. With silken vocals, signature basslines, and reflective lyrics, the track encapsulates the lingering feeling of summer nights with a groovy undertone.
