Sandesh`s debut single, "Hanjua"
Sandesh Motwani is better than ever in his first official single "Hanjua". Everything from the beat, to Sandesh's sunny looks is the definition of fire. With the release of "Hanjua", all eyes and ears are definitely darting in his direction. The original song and its music video was released on 29th January this year; the song has since become one of his most watched and heard songs, with more than 3 million views and streams.
"Hanjua" stays absolutely true to Sandesh's organic sound while putting a surprising R&B flare on the overall aesthetic. The finished product is a sensual effort, carried by a vocal performance oozing with seduction, though the underlying message is one that's sure to rain on the parade. With his sights finding their way back to a previous flame, Sandesh quickly learns the attraction was never mutual. Moreover with the oh-so-ever-always cinematic experience by Sandesh Motwani's direction for music videos and story telling, he never fails to surprise us with an always immersive and surreal experience. Sandesh has always had the support of his younger brother, Vishesh Motwani, who is a 19 year old respected music producer and cinematographer himself and is also the one behind the music video for "Hanjua"

âHanjua' touches upon emotions that everyone goes through at some point in a relationship, and with careful lyrics written by Aarushi Redij including âKaisi Yeh Dooriyan, Hoke Bhi Mera Na Tu Ho Saka', everyone can sing along and easily relate. This seductive tone continues throughout the remainder of the track. His voice slowly begins to crack slightly, highlighting the raw emotion and honesty before the track pauses for a few seconds, enabling listeners to take in this honesty and realism before quickly being drawn back into the powerful chorus.
The song also represents something you can't find in the notes and melodies and lyrics. "Hanjua" now occupies a special place in Sandesh's recorded musical history. It represents incredible potential. It's a reflection of its culture, and the appreciation it can bring to that culture. The crossover appeal of fusing the ethnic sound of Sarangi on a captivating pop rhythm is Sandesh's quintessential mastermind. Sandesh has always been a master when it comes to music production, paralleled with lyrics, the beat and production almost become bolder. With seductive lyrics talking about a toxic form of relationship, Sandesh transforms his previous innocent music into something much more mature that all fans can appreciate.
In essence, Sandesh doesn't disappoint with his debut single. This track is full of strong vocals, incredible production and relatable lyrics making it impossible to not sing along to. It's safe to say that âHanjua' takes Sandesh Motwani to the next level. If his upcoming singles are anything like this single, it will be a huge success, and with a more mature style, it is easily one of the best songs released this year and perhaps points towards an extremely promising future.
