“We had to go through a bit of a process to zero in on what the new sound would be. It was important to us that the first song of this phase be bang center of ‘all that I am.’”

LESSONS OF RESPECT, LOVE and caring for oneself come to the front in New Delhi-bred artist Vasundhara Vee’s new single and music video “Run,” her first ever solo independent release.

Produced by seasoned guitarist-composer Dhruv Ghanekar, “Run” starts offwith a familiar yet striking soul intro, then dipping into a chasmic pop palette with Vasundhara’s inimitable vocals taking the lead throughout. In the video created by Karan Takulia and Jason Vaz, visual metaphors of reflection and self-perception abound as we see Vasundhara is different looks, all of which make a heightened statement of a pop artist who’s ready to run free and confidently, undaunted by the past.
