Ramya Pothuriand Trodd Confront Love In ‘Pain Or Pleasure'

Since the re-lease of their 2018 R&B/ soul single “To Stay,” Mumbai-based singer-songwriter Ramya Pothuri and producer TRODD aka Tanmay Rathod have found their collaborative groove. While the creative process for “To Stay” started out with an email, the making of their latest single “Pain or Pleasure” was a lot more organic. “Tanmay actually came over to my place with a track that he had been working on. He started playing it out to me and immediately all these melodies formed in my head, so I quickly got my phone out to record. Most of the song was written in that initial burst!” shares Pothuri.
