When Mumbai-based singer-songwriter Maalavika Manoj aka Mali tuned into late-night talk show host Conan O’Brien’s Netflix docuseries Conan Without Borders one scene in the show stood out for the musician. Mali recounts a scene where O’Brien interviews two Israeli troops at the Syrian border. “You could hear bombs and machine guns going off in the distance. To think in those few minutes of video footage of a comedy show that someone could have been killed or someone’s house could have come down was something that really messed up my mind and haunted me for a long time,” she says.

Watching that eventually inspired the singer-songwriter to sit down at her keyboard and write her latest offering, the cinematic “Age of Limbo,” which is the first single off her forthcoming eight-track debut album Caution to The Wind
