Turning Back Time- Vineet’s brand new synth-pop track     

Turning Back Time, a peppy synth-pop track, is a reminder of magic of memories that one can delve into for that feel good factor to help keep your hopes & desires burning bright for the future, even if your present is momentarily lacklustre. “Our memories are an abundant source of so much love we have felt and can be a wonderful ‘map of desire’ that we need back in our lives, for the future. The lyrics make you delve into your most magical memories only to emerge feeling like you want to touch those memories and make them real again. The music is designed to make you slightly ‘rewind’ to the wonderful years of sweet synth based pop melodies as created by synth pop legends like Daft Punk and yet the song is enhanced technically & musically with today’s production effervescence and pop chart relevance,” says Vineet. The song releases globally on radio stations in the USA, Europe and India and on all digital streaming sites on July 8th, 2021 Vineet has had quite a year with his tracks steadily making their presence felt on international radio airplay charts. The self-proclaimed genre-agnostic artist has not only been receiving decent airplay on global radio platforms but has also proven his mettle by securing top slots across different genre charts – from pop to indie, rock and now hip-hop too! Vineet is the first Asian/Indian to achieve a series of accomplishments on global charts in 2021, among the other achievements that his releases have brought him recently. After the success of his first Hip-Hop single i Pray (that broke on the mainstream Hip-Hop DRT Top 50 charts recently and rose upto the top 20 and brought Vineet’s track in fine company of releases by Hip-Hop stars such as Drake, SnoopDogg, Doja Cat & Chris Brown), Vineet has just released a topical upbeat track titled Turning Back Time on July 8th, 2021. The artist’s rise in the top 20, (with i Pray peaking at number 11), makes him one of the first few/only Indian artists to ‘breakthrough’ on mainstream Hip-Hop DRT charts. More about the artist Vineet Singh Hukmani aka ‘Vineet’ is a global radio chart-topping artist, whose nascent but impactful tryst with music extends from composing radio-friendly pop earworms to creating a cohesive ecosystem for Indian artists to achieve radio playouts internationally. The latter is a subject which Vineet seems to have understood rather well, given the success of his recent singles which have secured a number of coveted spots in the global radio charts. An electronics engineer by education and a Harvard alumnus, Vineet was also the former MD and founder of India’s only International format radio station – Radio One. Vineet’s influences musically include the synth pop era of the 80s and his vocal idols are mostly the classic rock gods of the 70s & 80s. While most of Vineet’s music comfortably fits in under the category of pop, he is not limited by a genre and Vineet lets his love for the synth-pop era of the 80s and panache of classic rock, come up in his music every now and then. Vineet is also a part of his family band AVNI VIR VINEET with his 14-year-old twins who had 2 popular radio hits in 2020 – The peppy TWENTY TWENTY (no. 1 both on the World and European top 100 charts) and the melodious CAN’T WAIT. The trio that was founded in 2019, released a topical Pop 40 single titled Can I Go Now in February 2021.The band is Vineet’s way of educating Avni and Vir on the nuances of what global sound and career in music demand. Both Avni and Vir sing and play guitar and enjoy composing new originals. Recent Releases Vineet’s March 2021 single titled Jab The World is the first single by an Indian/Asian artist to enter the top 10 of DRT Rock Top 50 Charts and became one of the most played mainstream on Rock radio stations in the USA as per the DRT. A rare feat for an Indian artist, Jab The World placed Vineet alongside legends like ACDC, Green Day, Foo Fighters, The Offspring, Papa Roach and many other bands considered rock royalty.  While Jab the World was a thoughtful yet fun take on the world getting ready to get vaccinated, the singer-songwriter described his May 2021 release – So New as an optimistic gear shift we need. Thumping synth bass sprinkled with sparkling synth tones and feel good lyrics, So New released primarily on ‘Adult contemporary’ radio stations worldwide and reached the number 1 position on the European radio top 100 chart and also made its place in DRT Mainstream Pop 200 chart alongside Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande, Dua Lipa and The Weeknd and others, making it the 94th most played song in the US for the time. Turning Back Time, the global radio chart topper, who song by song is conquering international music charts, heart and genres. Turning Back Time- Vineet’s brand new synth-pop track

We Demand Change- Rohan Solomon Latest Single

We Demand Change is a cry for reformation, for awareness, empathy and a better world. The stirring, symphonic anthem of a track by the New Delhi/New York singer-songwriter released globally on June 15th, 2021. After a string of well-appreciated singles that chronicled different shades of the pandemic life in 2020, singer-songwriter/producer Rohan Solomon is set to release a compelling new single titled We Demand Change, on June 15th, 2021. The collective sentiment in the single was born out of emotions of outrage, despair, hope and a prayer for a strife-free world, that Rohan was feeling along with the rest of us, over the course of the last few testing months. “We Demand Change is a song about yearning for acceptance, pleading for peace, a cry for help to stop violence, racism & corruption among others. It’s a song that calls for introspection, for seeing what’s truly within ourselves and taking that one step towards change… big or small, it doesn’t matter,” says the former Cyanide vocalist.  The track bears a powerful beat but features no drums whatsoever, the rhythmic and percussive elements are sounds of stomps and guns being loaded and being fired, immediately setting the tone for the fact that violence is a theme which will be addressed in the song. “The system that’s broken, for centuries too…” early in the chorus, talks about both the internal and external thought processing systems. “As Michael Jackson said, ‘If you want to make the world a better place, take a look at yourself and make a change’. We must start by looking within and accepting our own flaws and rectifying them. If everyone would take a minute to think peacefully and calmly before reacting to a potential dispute, this would solve so many problems. We can always agree to disagree. Hatred and violence can never be solutions,” Rohan elucidates.    The multi-faceted musician/producer believes that there needs to be a change in the core foundation of humanity and this is the time to shout out and demand change. “The movement’s growing stronger, we’ll shout it loud again, until we see that change… Rohan sings optimistically. Primarily a singer-songwriter track at the core with an acoustic guitar and solo vocals, We Demand Change is driven by its pulsating rhythm (gunshot sounds and percussion) that evokes the sentiment of the heartfelt subject in a gripping fashion, encapsulated by a symphony orchestra. The cadences and notes of the orchestra, while illustrating the seriousness of the topic, also give out a feeling of hope and positivity towards the change for a better world. “We all can make this huge change happen for the betterment of our world and society, eventually if we all stand together and demand it,” the singer-songwriter who has also been a part of a Grammy award winning track, chips in. Rohan Solomon is a Singer-Songwriter, Composer, Vocal Coach and Audio Engineer, all rolled into one. In between the time he spent in his hometown New Delhi and The Big Apple, his love for pop-choruses grew along with his reputation of being a ‘conscious songwriter’.  After winning accolades for Keep Holding On, his first single of 2020 that was inspired by the Coronavirus lockdown-led social isolation, Rohan released Victoria’s Secret in June that took the story ahead from (the plot of his last single) the initial stages of anxiety and fear to introspection. Rohan’s third release of the year, Without A Trace was a power ballad that carried the artist’s signature feel while marking a noticeable departure from his usual fare. The pensive song which deals with self-doubt and contemplation life was accompanied by warm and very contagious sounds of a small symphony orchestra (from New York, USA). All three of his 2020 releases received excellent reviews from the press as well as the audience. Victoria’s Secret in fact is continuing to rise in popularity months after its release and recently secured the number 2 spot on the World Indie Music Charts (DRT).  Well-known in the Indian Indie Circles as the former front man of the erstwhile New Delhi-based Alt-Rock outfit Cyanide, Rohan started exhibiting his musical abilities at a rather early age. In the era of Channel V Launchpad and the Great Indian Rock Concerts, Cyanide was successful in making its presence felt in significant Indie Rock events of the country, in a short span of time. His old and new fans received a surprise from Rohan and his former bandmates in September 2020 when he digitally re-released their 2011 debut album titled Sugarcoated. Rohan moved to New York a few years ago where he packed in some new skills as an Audio Engineer and was a part of a trio called By Chance. He released a trilogy of singles titled Blue Sky, Hard To Breathe and Time with By Chance in 2019, that received a very warm response from the audiences, as also the press in India. During his time in New York Rohan also was a part of a Grammy Award winning track called Bubblin by Anderson Paak, in the capacity of an assistant engineer.  We Demand Change is a cry for reformation, for awareness, empathy and a better world. The stirring, symphonic anthem is an inspiration to many.  We Demand Change- Rohan Solomon Latest Single
