"Maple Tears" - by Wendy Wang 

Release Date: July 19, 2024

What You Should Know: "This song is about the fear of losing a pet. It was inspired by my dog maple. I’m sure a lot of you can resonate especially if you also have/had a pet. If you don’t, you must have someone or something you love so dearly that you cannot fathom losing. This is the song to listen to when you think of them. Even though you might cry when you feel these emotions, I think they are good tears because they’re for a special someone. Crying from pure love makes me feel like the tears are so sweet like maple syrup !!!"

"Kaahe" - by Riddhi Vikamshi

Release Date: July 12, 2024

What You Should Know: "Born from the creative melting pot of Berklee College of Music, "Kaahe" represents a harmonious blend of cultures and influences. What started as a simple bass line I created evolved into a dynamic composition featuring Sumer's flamenco guitar, Antony's melodic piano, and a diverse ensemble including tabla, bass, drums, and a string quartet.

This song reflects our passion for exploring new musical horizons. It's about bridging traditions and discovering unexpected harmonies. Recorded across continents—from Berklee's studios to Nagpur, India—each note resonates with our dedication and artistic integrity.

"Kaahe" captures both the playful energy of Latin music and the soulful depths of Hindustani vocals. The heartfelt lyrics speak to themes of longing and aspiration, making it relatable and emotionally impactful."
