Setting the tone with a thunder crash, cerebral ad libs and a heavenly synthscape, Diya Dhar opens I Want You with drama, dimensionality and a pristine pop vocal. The opus expands with introspective depth and poetic prowess, with luscious guitar detailing as Diya Dhar shares her soul with us.
We appreciate the timeless nature of the song, and the connected nature of Diya Dhar‘s metaphorical and philosophical lyricism. When quizzed on the message of the song, Diya confesses that I Want You is “a song about love, heartbreak and longing. It speaks of a love that is difficult, and to an extent even self-destructive but, so intoxicating that the teller of the tale is stubborn enough to keep it around.”
The relatable themes are tangible, and there is no doubt that countless people around the world have experienced what Diya manifests with her prose and charismatic timbre. We could certainly imagine I Want You being synched to countless Hollywood movies and TV shows.
We learn that the track was produced, mixed and mastered with Dwaipayan Nandi, and also features Aryan Haanz Dhar performing acoustic guitars, with Mikail Mirza on lead guitars, with Manasvi Baheti sharing his emotions on the piano, and pre production / recording by Vipul Tiru.
Diya goes on to tell us how how “the song is drawn from personal experiences”, which has always been the case for the soulful lyricist. Diya Dhar is a talented singer, songwriter, composer, and performer from India, who creates authentic and genre expansive tracks.
Her songs delve into themes of love, betrayal, heartbreak, personal struggles, and inner darkness. With three singles released and already amassing thousands of streams, it is no surprise that Diya has garnered attention from publications like Rolling Stone India, The Indian Music Diaries, Findie IN, and Rock Cabeca Brazil.
We love what Diya Dhar is creating with her sound and intentional persona, and have added I Want You to our New Music Spotlight playlist, and our brand new TIMELESS playlist, whilst we continue to stream her debut and sophomore singles, Crying Over Ghosts, and Worst Thing, and anticipate future releases from the talented, rising star!
