Yatin Srivastava Project release new song ‘The Unknown’

YATIN SRIVASTAVA PROJECT have released a brand new song!

The new song, titled The Unknown, is taken from the Yatin‘s upcoming new album Chaos // Despair which is scheduled to be released this week! The new song features Craig Blundell on drums and Sanjeeta Bhattacharya on vocals.

Speaking about the track, Yatin says, The Unknown is easily the darkest song on the record but the way it’s constructed melodically sounds more like a jazzy feel good song with some orchestral elements. I guess I was trying to copy Steely Dan by writing this song that sounds a bit happy but the subject matter is really messed up. The lyrics were inspired by Stockholm syndrome. The track pushes my thoughts and views on toxic relationships and how sometimes they become this unavoidable poison that you need and you think you can’t live without. The process of coming up with the vocals for this song is like nothing I’ve ever done before. The first time Sanjeeta and I had a session and we sat down with the song, we couldn’t really come up with lyrics but Sanjeeta basically just scatted through the song and made these melodies with just ooh’s and ahh’s. It blew my mind that she had this ability create and write in any given scenario. The song also has real cellos and that feeds my nerdy purist musician brain just about the right amount.”
