Mumbai-based pop artist Shreya Jain offers the first glimpse of her debut EP Bawari with the song “Kaahe,” where producer Bluk’s house music approach goes over Jain’s classical vocal melodies about a magnetic kind of attraction, with lyrics by songwriter Juno.
Jain explains that her four-track EP Bawari goes in all directions, from bringing in rapper Gravity to Tamil vocals by artist Sanah Moidutty, all the while retaining her classical vocal roots. Jain says, “I think I just wanted to do crazy things in the EP, that’s why I’ve called it Bawari.”
Like we hear in “Kaahe,” Jain has specifically picked melodies inspired by Hindustani classical music for Bawari EP. She grew up hearing traditional music and received training from her father, vocalist Surmani Shyam Jain. “My father’s riyaaz [practice] used to be the alarm for me to wake up,” she says with a laugh.
