Electronic Pop from Yash Kapoor

Originally hailing from Mumbai and now based in Los Angeles, Yash Kapoor has been making an impact in the modern R&B sphere. A producer, mix engineer and multi-instrumentalist with a cinematic ear, he creates music that stands at the crossroads of emotion and infectious songwriting. His sound brings togehter the warmth of South Asian stylings with the technical flair of Western production and the hazy atmosphere of LA’s alternative scene, a winning formula that sees him build entire worlds within a song.

A Berklee College of Music graduate, Yash shares, “music, for me, is a form of emotional architecture. Every song is a space you build to hold something you’re not always able to articulate.” That concept ripples throughout his work, resulting in immersive and layered music stitched with memorable melodies and meaningful lyricism. His music draws from R&B, hip hop, pop and jazz fusion, all filtered through his love for dense harmonies and subtle, slow-burning groove.

Behind the boards, Yash has made his mark within some of the industry’s most forward-thinking creative circles; having contributed in environments linked to XO and worked as an assistant to acclaimed producer DaHeala, he’s had a front-row seat to the shifts in modern pop and R&B while collaborating with artists like Belly and NAV helped shape his approach. First making his artistic entrance in April this year, he unveiled his sound with the debut single “Seaside Affection,” a collaboration with Avanti Singh.

Now he brings us his sophomore outing with his single titled “Secrets In Your Eyes,” presenting a superb showcase of his developing sonic output. Thematically, “Secrets In Your Eyes” explores connection without transparency and intimacy without certainty, framing that strange, electric space between what’s said and what’s unspoken. It’s uptempo pop-driven R&B that’s as reflective as it is energising, serving up an instantly catchy anthem that’s sure to strike a chord with listeners around the world.

Opened by the boom of pulsing kick and rising swell of bubbling synth elements, the rattle of percussion ushers in Yash’s expressive vocal leads which glide above the lively arrangement of snapping beats and bouncing synth instrumentation. Flowing with memorable melodic hooks and absorbing sonic atmosphere, the track pairs danceable forward motion with dreamy vocal elements to cast a spellbinding listening experience from start to finish.

Packed full of sticky melodic songwriting, poignant context and relentless groove, “Secrets In Your Eyes” sees Yash Kapoor continue to go from strength to strength on what’s sure to be his breakout year. With only two singles out, he’s already confirmed himself as an artist to watch building a new sonic language out of emotion, detail and adventurous sonic vision.
