The buzz around rising artist Ekam is only getting
stronger as he officially unveils the poster for his upcoming track
Garaariyaan, set to release on April 1. The song is a part of his
much-anticipated Mahoul EP, a project that promises to showcase a dynamic and
immersive sonic journey.
Positioned as a high-energy anthem, Garaariyaan
captures the celebratory and unapologetic spirit of modern youth culture. With
its strong thematic focus on lifestyle, confidence, and social presence, the
track blends Punjabi pop with hip-hop elements, creating a vibrant, party-ready
soundscape. The use of rhythmic ad-libs and references to digital culture—like
Snapchat and Reels—further roots the track in today’s evolving social
atmosphere.
The song is part of Mahoul EP, a conceptual project
that reflects the shifting “atmospheres” of contemporary life. The EP is
designed as a 360-degree exploration of human environments—from the high-energy
social spotlight to introspective, personal moments. Each track within the EP
represents a distinct “Mahoul,” offering listeners both sonic diversity and
emotional depth.
Ekam’s journey as an artist is deeply rooted in
musical tradition and personal evolution. Hailing from Delhi, he began his
musical exploration at the age of 11, influenced heavily by his father, a
professional tabla player. Drawing inspiration from the legendary Ustaad Nusrat
Fateh Ali Khan, Ekam developed a strong foundation in Sufi music, even
performing at Dargahs during his early years. His experience as a backing
vocalist with Sufi bands gradually paved the way for his transition into a solo
artist.
Over time, Ekam has carved a niche for himself by
seamlessly blending Sufi influences with contemporary pop and hip-hop sounds.
His upcoming Mahoul EP stands as a testament to this evolution—bridging
tradition with modern expression.
With the poster already creating intrigue,
Garaariyaan is poised to set the tone for the EP and position Ekam as a fresh
voice to watch out for in the independent music space. The track drops on April
1 across all streaming platforms.
