Listen To A Multilingual Chill-Electronic & Pop Album By Kochi-Based Pina Colada Blues

In the vibrant landscape of India's music scene emerges a luminary whose sonic concoctions transcend geographical boundaries with finesse. Pina Colada Blues, hailing from the cultural melting pot of Kochi, stands as a beacon of innovation in electronic and pop music. His artistic oeuvre, a symphony of diverse influences, has surged to the zenith of digital platforms. Selected as one of the inaugural talents under Day One, Sony Music's South Asian imprint, Pina Colada Blues embodies a fusion of musical styles, akin to his eponymous cocktail namesake, promising a journey of auditory delight.

Embarking upon his musical odyssey with the critically acclaimed Once Upon A Blue Moon, Pina Colada Blues swiftly captivated the industry's attention. Collaborating with luminaries like Anumitha Nadesan and Salim Merchant, he has evolved into a pioneering producer within India's independent music sphere. As the ethereal dawn of 2024 approaches, Pina sets his sights on a magnum opus, For Medusa, an album adorned with multilingual gems in Malayalam, English, Tamil, and Hindi, slated for a June release.

The album's inaugural offering, Butterflies, unveiled on Valentine's Day, tenderly captures the euphoria of nascent romance, evoking the fluttering sensations within. As anticipation swells, the forthcoming single Raabta, an ode to serendipitous connections, is poised to enrapture hearts on March 22. With lyrics that resonate with the warmth and familiarity of newfound love, Raabta epitomizes Pina's adeptness in weaving poignant narratives through melody and verse.

When queried about his musical identity, Pina Colada Blues delineates his sound as a harmonious amalgam of chill-electronic and pop, infused with eclectic influences ranging from Big Band to Indian Fusion. Reflecting on his formative years, he credits icons like Linkin Park and Maroon 5 for shaping his musical sensibilities, yet his palate has matured to savor the richness of indie offerings and the soulful melodies of contemporary luminaries such as Lauv and Flume.

In anticipation of For Medusa, Pina Colada Blues beckons listeners into a realm where sonic landscapes intertwine, inviting them on a voyage of musical discovery. With each composition, he paints vivid vignettes of emotion and experience, ensuring that his music transcends mere entertainment to become an immersive odyssey for the soul.
