With the release of the jazz-leaning lead single “Fallin’,” off her forthcoming album Lessons in Love last year, New Delhi singer-songwriter Pragnya Wakhlu went on to release her first Hindi track, the upbeat acoustic-led “Akele Hi Sahi” and even got back to playing gigs. She says, “It’s been amazing creating a mini-concert with everyone singing and creating magical evenings amidst all the craziness around.”

Now, Wakhlu is back with the second single from Lessons in Love, this time with her hauntingly beautiful offering titled “Whale Song.”

Wakhlu penned “Whale Song” a few years ago after coming out of a toxic relationship. According to the artist, the metaphor of the whale signifies feelings that lie under the surface of what people tend to show. “It’s only when you take a deep dive into knowing somebody that you really discover who they are and see all facets of their personality,” says Wakhlu.
