Reflecting on their origins, the duo noted, “Storytelling through our music has always been our passion, and we love to delve into different genres to convey these stories. Once we embraced this idea, everything else flowed naturally… the desire and drive to create music and tell stories became so consuming that we just kept pursuing it.” This authenticity has been pivotal in crafting beloved tracks like Jeda Nasha, Kaala Doriyaa, and Laila, which gained popularity through genuine listener appreciation. When asked what makes their music resonate, they shared, “The audience is astute and can detect inauthenticity… We strive to share music that we are deeply connected with and believe in.”
The band elaborated, “The music creation process remains relatively consistent. However, the key difference lies in aligning our vision with that of the director and producer… it’s a broader collaboration that requires considering everyone’s input, while still delivering something original that resonates with us personally.”
Faridkot has released their new five-track EP, complete with the music video for “Harjai,” which is available now.
