‘Bheegein’ by Joshua Singh: A Tender, Disco-Tinted Reverie 

Meet Joshua Singh, a Mumbai-based polymath whose music is a playground of analog textures, acoustic warmth, field recordings, and instinctive artistry. From co-producing Spud In The Box’s drum-driven indie grooves to collaborating with famous artists like Amit Trivedi, Sonu Nigam, and Javed Akhtar, he strikes the perfect balance between emotion and detail in his songs. 

Joshua is also shaping India’s music landscape as Director at Music Rights Management and part of artist-owned music platform Goongoonalo alongside legends like Shankar Mahadevan. His lineage runs deep: his father, Raju Singh, is a respected composer, while his grandfather, Charanjit Singh, the creator who fused ragas with disco to spark the acid-house revolution worldwide explains Joshua’s fearless genre-blending. Joshua is back with Bheegein, a five‑track EP written and produced across months of personal transition. 

Bheegay is an EP about feeling things fully and letting all things happen, even when it hurts a little. Each song touches on a different kind of emotion: the quiet after loss, the pause before love, the comfort of being known. It features artists like Sai Wategaonkar, Rhiti Tiwari, Perp, and Kairvina Sharma, and stays raw and real with soft edges, live takes, and a calm that feels like stepping away from the noise.

Opening the EP on a glowing, grounded note, Dil feels like the start of something sacred. It begins with the unmistakable sounds from an Indian wedding with shennai-like tones, tabla flourishes, and ambient celebration before slipping into a soulful alt-dance groove. The Hindi lyrics are tender and poetic, and talks about the joy of surrendering to the moment. Joshua’s vocals are just as raw and real, the production breezy and rhythmic. 

The second track, Panha, drifts in like a breeze. It’s light, hushed, and quietly experimental. Built on soft fingerpicked guitar and layered acoustic textures, the song feels intimate yet expansive. Featuring Sai and Perp alongside Joshua, the chorus is really amazing to listen to and all voices blend smoothly. The second half lifts slightly with warm electronic swells and ambient samples, creating a soundscape that’s both modern and meditative. It’s a slow jam for still moments, airy and artful without ever trying too hard.

The third track, Lotta Love, is a full-blown groovefest—fast, jammy, and built for the dancefloor. With Sai, Rhiti, and Joshua trading lines, it blends pop energy with poetic depth. Packed with tight electronic beats and layered samples, the track bursts with joy. A short, punchy high made to move and made just right.

The title track Bheegein hits differently with its city vibe. It opens with warped, reverb-soaked textures and glitchy loops that feel like flipping through late-night thoughts in a neon-lit city. There’s a sampled voice that lingers like a monologue in your head, part reflective, part motivating. As it builds, you get a soft house groove layered with tremolo synths and scattered beats. It’s philosophical, a little trippy, yet easy on the ears. It’s actually a perfect centrepiece for the EP’s reflective world. 

You Think closes the EP with a glimmer of retro magic. Featuring Kairvina, it channels classic Bollywood disco with a modern spin. You’ll hear thumping beats, looping lyrics, and a groove that makes you move without trying. It’s light, playful, and nostalgic without being weighed down. A short, sweet sign-off that leaves you smiling.

With Bheegein, Joshua Singh proves he’s not chasing trends instead he’s building moments. The EP is warm, quietly experimental, and rich with emotion. It doesn’t demand your attention, but it earns it anyway. Brief, beautiful, and built for a slow groove, it’s the kind of record you slip into and stay with a little longer than you meant to.
