Naisha reintroduces herself with her latest single, ‘so then’, featuring Ty Dolla $ign. Serving as a vibrant palette cleanser, the track highlights the artist’s unique background, having been born in India and now splitting her time between Los Angeles and Mumbai.
The song blends airy atmospherics with infectious Jersey Club tempo shifts. Naisha’s vocal delivery, which flits effortlessly between English and her native Hindi, provides a candid look at her romantic desires. Reflecting on the track’s creation, she notes: “’so then’ my first single, started as a hook I recorded ages ago. One day it came to life in the most organic way with my producers. Even Ty becoming part of it happened naturally. He heard the song, connected with it, and wanted to be part of it. Those are the moments I live for.”
This release serves as a precursor to her forthcoming debut EP, ‘911’. Co-created with longtime collaborators Skrillex and Dilip Venkatesh, the project promises to be a fusion of borderless influences. Naisha describes the EP as “emotional, chaotic, playful, honest and completely my world.”
Naisha’s musical foundation is deeply rooted in a global perspective, drawing inspiration from icons like Aaliyah, D’Angelo, and Bob Marley, alongside the rich textures of classic Bollywood soundtracks. Her journey into the industry has been marked by a relentless hunger for discovery, spanning stints in modeling and acting. Her pivotal meeting with Skrillex at a morning rave led to an immediate studio session, setting the stage for her current trajectory.
In recent months, Naisha has been busy taking her sound to the global stage, introducing her signature ‘Naish To Meet Ya’ party series and making appearances at various festivals. As she prepares for the release of ‘911’, she continues to solidify her position as a bold new voice in the contemporary music landscape.
