Charitrh – “Thy Love Left The World”
Hardik, also known by his artist/stage name Charitrh, is a singer-songwriter and producer hailing from Mumbai. He is known for his classic rock n’ roll sound, which is heavily influenced by artists and bands such as Guns N’ Roses, Queen, Pink Floyd, Green Day, Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, Bob Dylan, and A. R. Rahman. These artists have inspired him to take his songwriting into uncharted territories, exploring the ugliness beneath the beauty.
Charitrh has just released his debut single, “Thy Love Left The World,” which is an eight-minute rock song that brings the ambiance and sounds of authentic old-school Rock N’ Roll. The song features two different tones of guitars to display the power and color, followed by an acoustic and a piano to tame the ferocity and bring forth the ballad side. The lyrics are an interpretation of the thoughts of every middle-class soldier forced to join the military in exchange for some pennies and protection, which he uses to support his family and simply keep moving forward until death confronts them. The song is sung through angry, high-pitched vocals.
Charitrh recorded the track using Logic Pro and set up two mics (one dynamic and one condenser) in front of the Marshall MG30CFX. He recorded using two different tones and different playing styles, and a similar technique was performed with the acoustic guitar. He sang all of the lead and background vocals and utilized a variety of built-in software instruments, including drums, synths, piano, and bass. The track was written, performed, and produced by Charitrh, and mixed and mastered by Swapnil Singh (@swapnilsingh4) over the course of ten months at home.
Charitrh continues to engage with his audience by uploading covers on YouTube and Instagram, as a method to promote his music. With the release of his debut single, Charitrh has proven himself to be a talented and ambitious musician, and fans can expect to hear more powerful and authentic rock n’ roll from him in the future.
