Dhruv ushers in a soulful autumnal vibe with his new single, "Tragedy." "Private Blizzard" is a haunting introduction to his debut album of the same name, A 12-track rumination on the chaos of self-discovery, mourning, and isolation.
Crafted by acclaimed JT Daly, "Tragedy" marries Dhruv's signature introspective lyricism with a raw and polished soundscape. Taking cues from sonic innovators, including Bon Iver and Frank Ocean, "Tragedy" is an emotionally charged experience, which finds him pairing his elastic vocal range with ethereal instrumentals. The result? It is a song that isn't only played but also stays and creeps into your soul long after the last note has faded.
As the title suggests, "Tragedy" conveys the heaviness of heartache with a bittersweet balance of fragility and resolve. Dhruv's vocals flow effortlessly over poignant soundscapes as his incisive lyrics form a vivid picture of yearning and contemplation. The organic, live components and the more modern, electronically inspired textures are so well-balanced in the production that the soundscape can draw you into an otherworldly experience, at once ancient and wholly present.
As we await Private Blizzard, "Tragedy" is a stark testament to Dhruv's evolution as an artist. As he carves out space in the music industry, it proves that he is making you feel them.
