Each Measure Feature: Kamakshi Khanna

FEATURE

Born out of the chaos and isolation of the 2020 COVID pandemic, Kamakshi Khanna’s newest EP “Heartbreak 2020” is a creative and emotional capsule of the realities of love. This four-track EP stems from “The Green Room Sessions,” a lockdown series garnering 300,000 views on YouTube, documenting her raw creative process. Khanna is a celebrated singer-songwriter from Mumbai, India whose music blends the unique elements of pop, RnB/Soul, and folk genres accompanied with a soulful voice. Her music never fails to create an intimate and authentic relationship with audiences, and “Heartbreak 2020” does not fall short.

This EP comes a decade after Khanna’s debut album and is a realistic account of what it is to love in your 20s. Her expressive vocals, backed by smooth synth, guitar, and sometimes ukulele-led melodies inspire the feeling of modern loneliness– especially when looking for romance in the 2020 pandemic. Each song is a unique peek into Khanna’s 20’s love life. It isn’t difficult to see the sincerity of her lyrics. “Heartbreak 2020” is unapologetically honest and in writing the album, Khanna was not scared to let loose her anxieties about love and loneliness. The EP shines a light on the unspoken feeling of emptiness many people go through while feeling alone in a world full of romance.
