Posted on 18 January 2022

After courageously moving to NYC with just his two trusty guitars, a backpack, and a dream four months ago, Kru Manasa looked out of that dusty subway window on his way to the gym one day and just knew that this complex city had his heart on ‘Want‘.

Kru Manasa is a 23-year old Bangalore, India-born, New York, USA-based indie-pop singer-songwriter and aspiring actor at the Lee Strasberg Film & Theatre Institute.

”Being an Indian and making it into the mainstream pop world, now that’s a first. But somebody’s gotta do it. I’m here, I’m ready.” ~ Kru Manasa

You feel like you have been transported into a beautifully honest mindset of love when you listen to Kru Manasa. The genuine nature of this ambitious young man is so easy to admire, as he shares his true feelings on a song that you will find highly memorable as it brings a welcome glow to your famished soul.

‘Want‘ from the NYC-based indie-pop artist and acting student Kru Manasa is a catchy single that has you feeling so much happier than before as you get wrapped into this ear-soothing experience. He sings with a huge smile and this kind of energy transmits like a massive light leading you to a better place as you realize where you wish to be in this world.

After chasing his dreams to be in a city that can either make or break you – this is the ultimate artist underdog – that never gave up and is exactly who we should all be rooting for.

Eashwar Subramanian- ‘Electonic Gharana 2.0’ a track unlike anything you’ll hear on your alternative radio station

Posted on 7 August 2017

Fusing genres can feel like a culmination of different worlds expanding into each other and opening up possibilities that could never exist in isolation. From the first time Run DMC and Aerosmith smashed down the walls (literally) between hip hop and rock, artists have been striving to juxtapose the right combination of elements for more unprecedented alchemic reactions of music. These days, we’ve looked to artists like Flume to fuse the ever-growing technologies of electronic music  with the ageless qualities of organic sound. From Bangalore, India comes Eashwar Subramanian with a track unlike anything you’ll hear on your alternative radio station. Electronic Gharana 2.0 has been unleashed and we’re going to have to wonder what to do with all of this new inspiration.

Electonic Gharana 2.0 blends fast and powerful jungle beats straight out of your favorite chillwave EDM with the organic nature of what many in the Western World can only lazily call “World Music.” It should make sense that whilst in search of inspiration, we turn to cultures themselves and the traditional music of peoples who have passed down their songs and styles for centuries. With such a rich foundation, the attention of a talented composer such as Eashwar Subramanian is all that’s needed to bring forth something that feels both familiar and entirely new, both synthetic and organic, both energetic and atmospheric. You needn’t have ever heard anything like this track to enjoy it wholeheartedly, but remember that when it comes to sampling an unfamiliar culture, be sure to take examples as singular bits of an unimaginably greater whole. This track could inspire entire movements if taken for its merit. Only time will tell.
