After releasing four singles last year, Hyderabad-based singer-songwriter Priyanka Nath is now out with a brand new offering this year in the shape of the soulful pop number “Reckless.” The song is also accompanied by a glittering music video and in this interview with Rolling Stone India, Nath talks to us about putting the clip together, how the song came about, future plans and more.
