Swanand Kirkire Embraces Romantic Ballads with Upcoming Single “Akelaa”!

Renowned for his poignant lyrics and heartfelt melodies, Swanand Kirkire is diving back into his favorite realm of romantic music. The National Award-winning lyricist and composer will launch a new love ballad, “#Akelaa,” next month, kicking off a series of original songs released monthly on his YouTube channel. He’s already dropped two singles this year, both earning strong praise from fans.

Swanand has long crafted some of Indian cinema’s most touching romantic tracks, and this project lets him delve deeper into the genre. He blends verse, tune, and feeling to create music that’s raw and personal for listeners.
Adding to the charm, Swanand handles the writing, composing, and singing himself, infusing each track with genuine emotion. By going independent on YouTube, he frees his creativity from constraints and builds a direct line to his audience.
Reflecting on this path, Swanand Kirkire shared, “Romantic tunes hold a special place in my heart. Love is an enduring feeling—it changes yet stays profoundly personal. As a writer, I love distilling those quiet, unspoken moments, and as a musician, I pair them with melodies that linger.”

He added, “I’ve grown to cherish singing my own songs, as it lets me convey them precisely as I envision. It’s unpolished, straightforward, and true to my vision—exactly what I aim to share on my channel.”

Swanand wrapped up, “Dropping a song each month keeps my creative spark alive. It’s about steady honesty, not hype. I hope to craft a haven where fans return for authentic, heartfelt music that resonates deeply.”
