A two-decade career brings about many changes in musicians, from their philosophy to their sound. For Faridkot, the indie duo comprising vocalist IP Singh and guitarist-producer Rajarshi Sanyal, their recent EP Nayi Baat arrives as a reflection of who they are today. “Lyrically, the songs represent the phase of life that we are currently in,” says Singh. 

The new project consists of five tracks. For Sanyal, each number carries what is “quintessentially Faridkot” — long pop-rock ballads like Sawaari and Aza, and story-driven love songs such as Harjai, Nayi Baat, and Jaadugari. What’s common to all of them is the artistes’ spontaneity.
