Kolkata’s indie music scene has a rising star in Siddhant Goenka, an artist who channels his deepest emotions and experiences into his music and videos. Known for his poignant lyricism delivered via alluring melodies, his creative output has already earned significant recognition.
His third song, “Pari,” was featured on Rolling Stone’s website, and his track “Farishtey” caught the attention of Teenager Today magazine and the Midday Mumbai website. With over 20,000 YouTube subscribers and more than a million streams across platforms since his debut in August 2023, Siddhant Goenka is quickly becoming a household name in the indie music community.
His music has found a place in countless Spotify playlists, including the editorial playlist Naya Indiestaan, and “Farishtey” received airplay across 37 cities on 93.5 Red FM. His latest single, “Alvida,” sees the artist offer up a thrilling pop-focused rock anthem sung in his native tongue of Hindi.
This track blends airy piano plinks and soothing vocal leads before the subtle crunch of electric guitars and a rollercoaster of emotions collide into an anthemic sound. “Alvida” is a powerful reflection on relationships that have faded away, distilling the artist’s own journey from hope to anguish and anger throughout the song.
Once again linking up with frequent collaborator Pratham Sheth to put together the arrangement, the pair craft a theatrical sonic ride above which Siddhant’s compelling vocals soar in dazzling fashion. Siddhant pens the lyrics and crafts the melodies, while Pratham helps turn these ideas into polished musical works.
With each collaboration they offer something entirely new, drawing on their diverse talents to bring to life a spectacular musical output. Brimming with delicate ebb and flow and packed full of memorable melodic writing carried via an impassioned vocal performance, “Alvida” sees Siddhant Goenka serve up an enthralling musical moment that puts his songwriting talent and vocal panache on full display.
