VASU’s second self-produced EP, ‘Parwaaz’, is a product of a few years of her excavating her roots; acknowledging her influences; finding, accepting, and loving her own sound; and preparing to boldly and unabashedly carry it forward. It represents liberation and freedom.
Inspired by her Nani-baari (grandmothers home) in Benaras, her deep cultural roots, love for sound synthesis, ambient electronic textures, and the wondrous and majestic existence of nature, ‘Parwaaz’ has travelled all around the world and come back home for its premiere.
The word “Parwaaz” originates from Urdu and means “flight” or “first flight of a bird”.
Rogue Waves Lyrics
आसमान की लहरें
गरज कर समंदर पर चढ़ें,
एक झपकी में डूब गए हम।
Aasmaan ki leherein
Garaj kar samandar par chaddhe,
Ek jhapki mein doob gaye hum.
The waves of the sky
thunder and roll on the ocean
(But) I've drowned in the blink of an eye.
Parwaaz Lyrics
मिलते, जब मिलते हैं
आँखों में चिराग है,
और उसपे निकाब है
निकले मेरे अरमान है।
Milte, jab milte hain
Aankhon mein chiraag hai,
Aur uspe niqaab hai
nikle mere armaan hai.
When we meet,
There's a spark in our eyes
that's hidden by a veil,
but my desires can't hide.
