Mumbai, 8th December 2025: Two of the most compelling voices in India’s alternative music movement, Awwn1k and Yungsta, come together for a collaboration that is as tender as it is devastating. Their new single, “roshni,” is an atmospheric, trilingual exploration of love, loss, and the painful clarity that sometimes comes only at the end of a relationship.
Rooted in Awwn1k’s evolving subgenre of ‘dardmusic’, the track builds a world that feels cinematic in its emotional depth. The producer meraki crafts a moody, downtempo trip-hop landscape that perfectly complements the introspective tone, while engineers JIM VENUS and Shikhar Srivastava give the mix a spacious, twilight warmth.

On “roshni,” Awwn1k brings the melodic vulnerability that has defined his rising presence. Known for songs like “chole ay” and “TOMARI JONNE,” he continues to shape the sound of Indian Alt Rap through raw storytelling and a voice that sits gently between longing and memory. His verses unfold like confessions that are soft, bruised, and honest.
Yungsta, one of Delhi’s upcoming lyricists, takes an unexpected but powerful turn. Often celebrated for his sharp, hard-hitting delivery, he steps into a more restrained and emotional space without losing the intensity that defines him. His verse moves between Hindi and English, mirroring the fluidity of thoughts during heartbreak, adding new layers to his artistic identity.

Together, they merge their distinct aesthetics into a seamless emotional narrative where Awwn1k’s atmospheric vulnerability and Yungsta’s controlled precision forming a delicate, compelling balance.
“roshni” grapples with a universal yet rarely discussed truth: Sometimes the kindest thing you can do for someone is to let them go, even when it hurts to breathe.
The track moves through Hindi, English, and Bengali, each language carrying its own shade of intimacy. The lyrics sit heavy with acceptance, while the production creates an echo chamber of memory that are warm, dimly lit, and filled with the ache of what once was.
The result is a quietly piercing record that lingers long after it ends.
