SINGER-SONGWRITER Anumita Nadesan is, among several other indie artists, proof that one can hold an audience captive with creative cover songs and then make them stay and become fans of your original music. Since the release of songs like "Khwaab" (2022) and "Katputli Ke Dhaage" (2021, with The Yellow Diary's Himonshu Parikh), Nadesan's dulcet vocals have become her calling card of sorts.

Since then, Nadesan has gone on to working with producers and composers ranging from Shashwat Sachdev to OAFF, Sez on the Beat and Pina Colada Blues. Although a lot more persevering with her song releases in an era where artists are expected to capitalize on a hit song and put out a bucket-load of singles in a year, Nadesan has been working on her debut album. After a few years of putting songs out via labels, this one marks an independent release for what she describes as her most ambitious project yet. Read our interview with Nadesan below. Excerpts:

Rolling Stone India: How's everything going in terms of navigating the music industry so far?

Anumita Nadesan: It's going really well, and I'm really excited about what's yet to come out. I'm working on my first album and that is very, very exciting for me. So far, I've only done singles. So it's been quite difficult, working on it song by song and also because I was introduced to that kind of a culture [of releasing singles].

That's definitely there but it kind of broke my train of thought as an artist who's writing I'm working with like really cool collaborators as well, in terms of the composition and all that. Really looking forward to that.

Speaking of the fact that you worked with labels for your singles, what was it like?
