Singer/songwriters seem to be everywhere right now, and though most tend to release singles rather than albums, a handful have found a comfort zone in the middle ground that is the EP: collections of three to six tracks that allow them to express their ideas more completely.

Blessed with one of the best voices to emerge out of the Indian indie scene in recent times, she charms again with songs variously dedicated to lovers, family and friends, each of which matches her technical dexterity with raw vulnerability.
