When indie darling Prateek Kuhad returned from his stay at music haven – Bear Creek, Seattle, he had a new record on his hands. A record that felt innately his, maybe for the first time in his career. “It’s like I was jolted into a new environment, working with new people, and in an odd sense, that liberated me. I wasn’t the (In) Tokens and Charms Prateek or Kasoor Prateek but just, Prateek.”
Kuhad believes the album that came out of this experience – The Way That Lovers Do, is a labour of love and personal passion; it remains largely unaffected by his new-found Instagram Reels fame. “The record, to me, is a full-fledged narrative about love and human connection – the two themes I’ve always felt drawn to. I don’t think I ever want to write songs thinking about how popular I want them to get. If someone still finds a clip or two from them and deems them to be ‘Reels-worthy,’ good for me, I guess.”
