![Dhruv Visvanath On Discipline, New Music and Appearing on 'My Kind Of Country' Dhruv Visvanath On Discipline, New Music and Appearing on 'My Kind Of Country'](https://cdn.magzter.com/1357280291/1693376274/articles/xrRx3zg541693419881171/DHRUV-VISVANATH-ON-DISCIPLINE-NEW-MUSIC-AND-APPEARING-ON-MY-KIND-OF-COUNTRY.jpg)
New Delhi-based Dhruv Visvanath’s new music video for “Gimme Love” brings to the front the protagonist’s memories, achievements and past glories and failures that get a much-needed discarding, with filmmaker Tanvi Gandhi giving hoarded boxes life. While it might be a similar theme of everyday objects showing us their secret yet fairytale-like sentience that was seen in the video for “Wild” from 2018, the songwriting of “Gimme Love” moves in a different direction. Since the release of “Wild” and his album The Lost Cause in 2018, Visvanath took the route of releasing singles building up to his 2021 album The Book of I, which he carried into releasing his powerful 2022 EP Demons.
The first half of 2023 has been arguably Visvanath’s biggest, becoming a finalist on Apple TV+ show My Kind of Country – where he covered everyone from Johnny Cash’s “Ring of Fire” to Billie Eilish’s “Bad Guy” alongside his own material in Nashville. Then, he collaborated with composer-producer Achint and Gujarati vocalist Aditya Gadhvi for the Coke Studio Bharat song “Khalasi,” called upon for his distinct percussive acoustic guitar strumming.

ANDRÉ 3000 'I'D RATHER GO AMATEUR INTERESTING THAN MASTER BORING
West Los Angeles' Gjusta Bakery is bustling on a sunny Friday afternoon. Sevenfoot-high stacks of flour bags lay near the entrance, soon to be turned into pastries. The main room is full of locals seeking an early-afternoon pick-me-up, but the backyard is quieter, with rustic tables and large plants under a makeshift roof made of golden tarp. André 3000 walks in unassumingly, dapping me and joking that our shared first name is a great one. I agree as we sit and get acquainted over matcha lattes. Dressed in a camouflage jacket, pants in a different camo pattern, and his trademark red beanie, André mentions that he's been under the weather after traveling home from Japan, where he and his bandmates recently played six improvised instrumental shows at Blue Note Tokyo.
