2023

The song doesn't quite build on the promise it begins with, but still lots to like. It's a kind of song that, I suspect, will grow on you. -Zico

Papon showing everyone why he's cornered the market for these songs. -Tatsam

Lovely tune by Saurabh-Vaibhav. Influenced (not inspired) by Abhijit Pohankar's tarana from his 2002 album Piya Bawari. Ankit Pandey's lyrics go into Gulzar territory. Papon brings a certain gravitas to the singing reminding one of Bhupinder's singing. The way the flute arrangement is done at just the right spot is really done well. I wish the orchestration had less electronic and more acoustic instruments. My fav song of the year. -Ketan

Anything with Papon has to be worth listening, This song uses the break in his voice masterfully. I find the lyrics a bit pretentious. -Ashwini

Nothing new but extra point because it’s not like run of the mill songs you hear all the time today. -Pranav

Papon reminds why he is one of a kind. -Harsh

A largely simple, soft rock composition that somehow just has a magnanimous effect. Be it Papon's vocal clarity throughout, the heart-tugging melody, the sublime lyrics, or the blend of different complementary instrumental layers, this track is a keeper! -Shasank

Heard it for the first time. Not bad. -Akanksha

Papon carries a good melody and decent arrangements well. -Guri

Papon is good once again. There is so much Gulzar-like lyric writing hangover this year. Whatever is 'geeli si subah', 'ujali si Dhyan' etc, there's no sense to these songs. -Subrat

There are hardly any songs on nature nowadays; Papon's delivery reminds me of Hariharan. Amazing lyrics and arrangement. -Pradeep
