In Mumbai’s indie music scene, one band has made a name for itself with a distinctive blend of rock, pop and electronica. Music UnLtd., formed in 2014 by the talented Milin, has been on a musical adventure that’s earned extensive support on radio, TV features and international press coverage.
Joining the songwriting, vocals and guitar of Milin is Stephen Veigas on keys, Kevin Chetti on guitar, Govind Gawli on bass and drummer Yadhunandan Nagaraj, with the collective becoming synonymous with an eclectic fusion of genres. Having won over crowds in venues across Mumbai and beyond, Music UnLtd. has consistently gone from strength to strength since their debut in 2015.
Unveiling the project in 2015, Music UnLtd. released released their debut single “Armaanon Ka Sapna,” followed up by their first EP And Then I Saw Her later that year. Since then they’ve dropped a full-length record, a sophomore EP and several singles.
Now they bring us their latest release with their latest single titled “THIS IS IT,” a song that blends elements of rock, pop and electronica, fused with the Sitar, an instrumental element that Millin had wanted to work into his sonic output for a long time. Opened by the crash of cymbal as the sitar snakes a delicate melody in a hazy sonic atmosphere, the splash of drums then usher in an indie rock sound.
Crunchy guitar work, splashy drums and pulsing bass lines form the backing for Millin’s commanding vocal leads to thread memorable hooks. Peppered with flourishes from the sitar, the band crafts a superb fusion of East and West, resulting in an anthemic alternative sound unlike anything else.
“THIS IS IT” captures a poignant narrative exploring the trials and tribulations of a composer-musician’s journey. The lyrics cover the highs and lows, the euphoria and disappointment that one experiences in the pursuit of artistic recognition. With an emphatic chorus brimming with singalong vocal leads and rousing instrumentation, “THIS IS IT” sees Music UnLtd. serve up another stellar piece of their highly original sonic vision.
