Talking about the song Sampriti says, “I’ve asked myself this question too many times; do people who dare to pursue their dreams, have any plan B? “Asene kunu bikolpo?” which means “Is there an alternative?” in Assamese, questions the same. I feel like a lot of people in the creative industry go through experiences that sometimes lead them to question their decisions, in terms of creating art. A lot of it is also fuelled by the social media culture; the pressure of constantly creating and putting work ‘out there’ for the world to see. Thus, the lyrics of KENIGOL came to be. It’s an anthem about holding onto one’s flow and being patient with your art and self.”

The catchy hook of the track is sure to serve as an earworm for all the listeners. KENIGOL is available on all major music streaming platforms including Spotify, iTunes etc., along with a music video, shot and directed by Saloni Pandey, edited by Mridu Neog. KENIGOL is recorded at Studio Ra, Goa; photographed by Ron Bezbaruah and styled by Bansari Chawada. The track is Mixed and Mastered by Nisthula Murphy and Tamzid Rahman.
