We recently got the wonderful opportunity to check out the new single, “Bait”, from Mumbai, based singer-songwriter, Kairvina.

You can listen to “Bait” Here

Kairvina is an alternative singer/songwriter born and raised in India. Her passion for music found her at a very young age, with evenings spent singing and writing songs about middle school relationships, surprisingly devastating heartbreaks, and brooding soul-searching anthems. It was only a matter of time before that creative energy led her to self-learn guitar and share that angsty spirit.

Taking a leap of faith, Kairvina moved to Los Angeles at the age of 18. Immersing herself in her art, she formed a band, played countless gigs, and developed a conversational way of telling the stories she wants. Inspired by Jeff Buckley, Phoebe Bridgers, and Elliott Smith, she has created her own approach to music- raw and dreamy vocals melting into soft soul and rock, with a clear passion for storytelling and poetry. Her lyrics tend to be introspective and delicate, often with an added pinch of humour, giving a stage to human imperfections.

Her new song “Bait” is a fun, light-hearted track about being led on by someone, and finding a sense of tranquility in that situation

We absolutely love the eclectic vibe and sound of “Bait” Kairvina, is a singer-songwriter who puts her whole heart and soul into her music . This is front and center on her latest single .

Do your music loving soul a favor and get lost in the absolutely melodic goodness of “Bait” from Kairvina.

Mumbai-based metal titans Zygnema pay homage to their city in music video for single “Grind”

We recently had the unbelievable opportunity to check out the new video for “Grind” from Mumbai based metal band Zygnema and… it is freaking amazing.

You can watch the epic video for “Grind” below

You can also check out their album “Iconic” on Spotify Here Apple Music Here and on Amazon Music Here

So full disclosure… we had never heard of zygnema, before we checked them out today ( boy were we missing out ! These guys freaking rock)

“Grind”, taken from their recent five-track EP ‘Iconic’, blends traditional Indian musical elements with modern groove metal, and centres itself around the band’s pride in their city and in their people. 

You can see and feel the incredible energy that Zygnema brings with their music and it is absolutely breathtaking. We were so taken while watching the video for “Grind”, that the hair on the back of our neck stood up.

Since the band formed in 2008, they’ve released two full length albums, leading them to win multiple awards at 2011, 2014 and 2016’s Rolling Stone Metal Awards, and have played slots at esteemed festivals such as Wacken Open Air, Inferno Metal Fest and they’ve headlined and co-headlined major festivals across India alongside bands such as Megadeath, Tesseract, Fear Factory, Behemoth, In Flames, Opeth and others.

Discussing the lyrical themes behind the track, the band state, “We are proud of the city that we live in. It has made us who we are. The city is what it is because of the people and their hustle and GRIND to live a good life despite the challenges they’re faced with. This is what inspired us to write and dedicate this song to the city and to the amazing people of this city.”

The accompanying music video highlights the day to day grind it takes to live in the hustling, bustling city of Mumbai. Discussing what they hoped to achieve with the video, the band say, “The People of Mumbai are resilient, and are having fun grinding it out in their day to day lives. The grind of Mumbai spares no one. It doesn’t matter what strata or class you belong to; Nobody is complaining. At the end of the day, they have fun and celebrate their achievements. That’s what we want to showcase through our music video.”

You can’t sleep on Zygnema and their amazingly epic new video for “Grind” It is a true work of art.
