New Delhi, Nov 6: Hindi rock band Euphoria, who have entertained the youth with their love songs over the years, have moved on to issues like religion and terrorism with their new album.
Titled ‘Item', the album deals with a range of topics right from modern Indian women to the power of money and Euphoria's former bandmates.
“We have always been writing about girls and love, but this time we have taken up various issues. Its about the age we live in - I thought it is high time we start thinking about issues we have not thought of till now. All our lives we have spent thinking about so many things, I am blessed that I can express them in words,” frontman Palash Sen told PTI.
Each of the nine songs in the album belong to a different mood and Palash says they are in sync with the ‘Navras' in the lives of the modern day Indian.
“There are nine songs, which we call the Navras of the Indian life today. We start with religion, go through virha, vidaai, atankvaad and also Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. We have called it Item because in every film the item number is most important. And in today's music scenario we think Euphoria is the biggest item because only we have the guts to stand up to film music,” said Palash.
The band shot to fame with their first studio album titled ‘Dhoom' in 1998 and there has been no looking back. Palash says they struck a chord with the people because they did not go with the flow and held their own.
