Indian artist Aruna has shared new single ‘thoughts & therapy’.
The singer was brought up in India’s cultural capital, Kolkata, and was immersed in music from a young age. Quickly winning attention, her natural flair brought a co-sign from none other than Jools Holland.
A gifted natural, Aruna’s music offers confessional pop, one that recalls childhood heroine Taylor Swift, or even teen-pop rebel Olivia Rodrigo.
Out now, new single ‘thoughts & therapy’ contains her melodic flair, but there’s an insightful edge to it. Approaching her 26th birthday, Aruna is having a quarter-life moment – it’s introspective, but there’s revelation there, too.
She comments…
‘thoughts & therapy’ is a coming-of-age tune which represents a time at which I was trying to figure out how to navigate the world on my own again after a break-up.
At nearly 26, I’m still not sure what it means to be an adult – this is the chaos I hoped to encapsulate by juxtaposing tearful and heart wrenching moments from my real life alongside the more sarcastic and bratty tongue-in-cheek lyrics. The older I grow, the more I realise that all of us are simply works in progress, and within the never-ending process of realising our true selves, we can all come across as ‘the villain’ sometimes.
While in those moments, it’s okay to feel like the victim for a bit, it’s all about finding your own redemption-arc by taking accountability for your own happiness.
Tune in now.
