Roop Ghuman, the popular Punjabi music artist known for his hit tracks such as “Maekhana,” “Koi Hall,” “Shaami Mildi,” and “Saare Chann Te Tare,” has recently released his new EP titled “Mushaira.” This concept EP takes inspiration from a traditional ‘Mushaira,’ where four poets express their stories through heartfelt poetry. Each character in the EP possesses a distinct and captivating personality, beautifully portrayed through the lyrics and music.
When discussing the sound of the EP, Roop Ghuman describes it as a unique fusion of orchestral music and hip-hop beats, complemented by a vintage flavor that adds the perfect touch to the songs. The combination of these elements creates a mesmerizing experience for the listeners.
One of the songs in the EP, “Ugg Painde Gulab,” is a romantic ballad in which a poet confesses his love to his beloved. He expresses that roses bloom from the pages on which he writes her name, symbolizing the depth of his affection.
Another track, “Ashiqa’n ch badnaam,” tells the story of an infamous lover with a tarnished reputation. Despite his dishonesty in love, his writing captivates people’s hearts, and he is respected as a poet. The song delves into the enigma behind his notorious personality, revealing his loneliness and anguish that remains hidden from the world.
In “Kite Shayar Banja Main,” the EP showcases a poet’s desire to empathize with others and reflect their emotions through his verses. Whether it is heartbreak, new love, the experiences of youth, or the pain of separated families, he longs to listen to everyone’s stories and alleviate their suffering while becoming a part of their joyous moments.
Lastly, “Bahro Kayar andro Shayar” introduces us to a timid and shy poet who is a “roadside romeo.” He harbors deep affection for someone but lacks the courage to face them directly. Instead, he pours out his frustration and unrequited love through his poetry.
Roop Ghuman’s EP “Mushaira” takes listeners on a captivating journey through the stories of four poets. With its unique blend of orchestral music, hip-hop beats, and a vintage touch, the EP offers a refreshing and soulful experience. Each song beautifully captures the emotions and personalities of the characters, leaving a lasting impact on the listeners. “Mushaira” stands as a testament to Roop Ghuman’s artistic versatility and ability to craft meaningful and evocative music.
