EVER SINCE SHE POPPED UP ON the scene in 2020, Mangaluru/Bengaluru singer-songwriter Frizzell D'Souza has made quite an impression with her delicate, acoustic-leaning music. With a bunch of singles under her belt, the musician is now out with her five-track debut EP The Hills Know Of You.
In this interview with Rolling Stone India, D'Souza talks to us about the new EP, working with producer Varun Murali, her future plans and more.
When did The Hills Know Of You begin to take shape?
Although four out of the five songs were written in 2021 and early 2022, the EP only began taking shape in May of this year owing to my rather demanding architectural thesis [this] semester. The tracks were originally written with their own individual backstories and had no association with each other. The process of finding the right producer and visual artist seemed like the most time-consuming task, but once those hurdles were crossed, the process was relatively fun.
What can you tell me about the songs on the record?
