Producer Bharg Takes the Singer-Songwriter Route on Confessional Song 'Darta Hu Mai'

WITH THE RELEASE OF SAB CHAHIYE IN 2021, the hip-hop pairing of rapper Rawal and producer Bharg took root and went far. Ever since then, however, Bharg Kale has been slowly breaking out of not just genre brackets, but also branching out to show his singer-songwriter side.

The first glimpse of that arrived with the release of his debut solo single "Darta Hu Mai," an affable song his apprehensions about confessing to a good friend that he likes them. It runs the risk of ruining a good friendship, but in the end, the leap was worth it. Kale says, "It comes from a very personal experience. I wrote this song a year back with just my guitar and the feeling was of being scared to tell my crush (now girlfriend) that I like her. So yeah, the song is about that."
