Songs From a Matchbox (2018)

The debut, and as small and warm as the title suggests. Eight songs, none longer than four minutes:

  1. Bar Talk
  2. Two Left Feet
  3. I'm Always Right
  4. She Can
  5. One Sided Stories
  6. Stood up & Fried
  7. Better Than It All
  8. Please Come Back to Me

"Better Than It All" came out first, in May 2018, and is the natural starting point. "Two Left Feet" is the longest song.

The English singles (2020–2022)

City Life (2020)

A song for anyone who has moved to a big city for work, and the single with the longest afterlife: it was remixed by Bulli Bainbridge in 2023 and reworked as a drum and bass track by Hi-Fi Bhai in 2026.

Unicorn and the Sheep (2021)

A January 2021 single, and one of his gentler English songs.

Cold Cold Night (2021) and Am I Overthinking This? (2022)

His English songwriting at its most direct. The second title says it all.

Intezaar Tera (2024)

The second album is mostly Hindi and fuller in sound. Nine tracks:

  1. Ghulaam (with Ashish Zachariah)
  2. Tere Bina
  3. Bekarar (with Shor)
  4. Tu Saath Hai
  5. Tu Hai
  6. Yeh Sama
  7. Kab Se
  8. Har Din Hai Naya (with Mister Miyagi)
  9. Kyu Duur Hai (with Shor)

Six of the nine came out as singles first, between August 2023 and January 2024, so the album gathers a year of releases into one place. It runs about 25 minutes. Play "Tere Bina" and "Kyu Duur Hai" first.
