Mumbai-born alt-pop sensation saachisen shines with new single ‘If you knew what I was thinking’.
The track boasts some of the most beautiful string-work in recent pop, accenting saachisen’s gorgeous voice to perfection.
The lyrics tell the bittersweet story of an unrequited first love, but the instrumentation keeps the overall tone of the song from dipping into depression, instead bringing the excitement of new feelings to the fore – a perfect spring burst of pop that is so easy to sing and bop along to!
“In ‘If You Knew What I Was Thinking’ I wanted to capture the euphoria of falling for someone, but also the frustration of knowing you shouldn’t tell them. The melody, lyrics and arrangement were all crafted to reflect that battle between head and heart – particularly in the shift between the verses and choruses.”
