Why this band is a singles band

For seven years, The Yellow Diary released music mostly as EPs and single songs rather than albums. That is why this guide is organised by release, not by record. Most of the songs listeners know best, from "Roz Roz" to "Sajni" and "Kahe Kahe", never appeared on a full album; they live as singles on Apple Music India. Their first full-length album, In Case We Forget, arrived only in November 2025, so the early songs above are the core of the band's catalogue.

What is left out

  • Series soundtracks, such as Jugaadistan (2022) and Maja Ma (2022), where the band's songs are credited alongside other artists.
  • Re-releases and alternate versions, unless they are the only way to hear a song.

How to start

If you are new to The Yellow Diary, play "Roz Roz", "Marz" and "Tere Jeya Hor Disda" first. Then go to "Sajni" and "Kahe Kahe" for the later singles, and finish with "Yun Hi Kahin" and "Saaye" from the first full album.
