All About Faridkot’s New EP Nayi Baat

Speaking about their new album, Rajarshi shared, "‘Nayi Baat’ focuses more on storytelling through music. There’s a whole range of songs on it, from peppy songs to long desi rock ballads that are about philosophies and how they intertwine in our lives. Our last few released songs were more of a fun nature. Our older releases had something similar to what is here, but in this EP we have designed it as almost a concept album, where there are lots of different stories. If you listen to the songs in order also, it’s almost like a journey of maturing in life."IP continued, "As the name suggests, it’s about newness and new beginnings. You will hear new sounds and new stories. We love telling stories and you will find five new stories in the form of these five songs. We always try to tell something fresh with our music and that’s what this EP also stands for."Faridkot’s latest EP comprises five tracks: Harjai, Nayi Baat, Sawaari, Aza, and Jaadugari.
