On 28 September I put six of my original songs together in one nonstop jukebox: Love & Longing. Twenty-two minutes of romance, rain, heartbreak and longing — put it on for a long drive, a quiet evening, or whenever you miss someone.
It opens with Mai Aawari. Sometimes love doesn’t stay — it turns into memories, silence, and longing. The lyrics and composition are by Prisca, the music and mix by R3zR.
Then Aa Sama Le, my newest original: composed and produced by Protijyoti Ghosh, lyrics by Prem Nikaju, guitars by Amborish Saikia, mixing and mastering by Sumit Nandi.
Baarish Ek Ehsaas Hai brings the rain. Baarish ek ehsaas hai. Prince Pratap wrote and composed it.
Ishq Ye Hua is the quiet one. Not a grand announcement, not a declaration — just the moment when love has already settled in and you only notice afterwards. Written and composed by Prince Pratap.
Kade Kade is the Punjabi touch, about the moments when emotions feel unpredictable: when someone becomes your whole world, and the next day you are not sure you are anything to them. Lyrics and composition by Poet MK, music and mastering by Prince Pratap.
Bahon Mein Bharlo closes it — the first original I released, in 2023. Love is not always loud; sometimes it is just a warm hug, a silent moment, a heartbeat close to yours. It was written, composed and produced by Prince Pratap.
The jukebox is on my YouTube channel, with the time each song starts, and every one of the six is on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music and JioSaavn — each song’s Listen page on this site links to all four.
Tell me in the comments which one is your favourite.
