Kamakshi Khanna’s latest single comes as a continuation of her increasingly appealing pop-folk sound, driven by her emotive and dynamic vocal delivery and pristine production that puts everything where it belongs.
‘Love Is Not A Fucking Game’ is the title of Khanna’s latest release. A Mumbai-based singer and songwriter who has established herself as a leading voice in India’s growing indie music scene, which is slowly gaining worldwide traction, with Khanna who has already played tours across the United States.
Singing in English as well as in Hindi, there is no stopping Kamakshi Khanna’s growing popularity, and there is no need for that when the songs she writes are as solid, fluid, and enjoyable as ‘Love Is Not A Fucking Game’. Sounding like Billie Eilish, 10 years from now, after a handful of life-altering lessons, Khanna’s vocal delivery is at once gentle and fierce, present through its softness, and commandeering in its subdued nature. The acoustic guitar sounds warm, and the litany of fleeting synths and pads make the song’s atmosphere engulfing and colorful.
With a rich structure that builds upward in momentum, Khanna’s solid songwriter is -without a doubt- the key factor on ‘Love Is Not A Fucking Game’. A multi-faceted composition coupled with masterful production resulted in a song made of pure pop appeal.
At this pace, it will only be a matter of time before Kamakshi Khanna’s name is as known and as loved worldwide as it is in her home India. A talented, cultured artist whose songs are lush and whose words are weighted, Kamakshi Khanna is an artist to be on the lookout for.
