MUMBAI: Qyuki artist Kuhu Gracia has released the music video for her debut single, “Chitthiyan.” The digital sensation with over 1.45 million subscribers charts a tale of love and heartbreak in the evocative music video. Featuring the musician’s silky vocals as well as spoken word, “Chitthiyan” poses a reflection on a past bond. The pop ballad also marks the unveiling of Gracia’s first original song. Exploring the highs and lows of a doomed romantic relationship, the versatile vocalist’s “Chitthiyan” is a heartfelt chronicle of connection in the month of love.

Penned by lyricist Sanjay Phillips with a delicate arrangement by Dev Basak, Gracia’s debut single shines a light on the singer’s balmy vocals as well as her gravitational forte as a performer. The vocalist is framed in both colorful and muted vignettes as she musically and poetically narrates the story and eventual fate of two lovers in the music video for “Chitthiyan.” The 4-minute clip is an emotional snapshot of a beautiful relationship that ultimately sees two people break up and drift apart. Gracia wished to channel an expansive tapestry of love on her debut single, hoping to do justice to the human experience as she reflected the almost universal feeling of heartbreak. The music video, directed by Rohan Saini, also features actor Shaurya Dutt opposite Gracia.

Says Kuhu Gracia,

“I’m excited to be making my original vocal debut with ‘Chitthiyan.’ It’s a song that encompasses two very strong emotions: heartbreak and love. I’ve encountered so many people who’ve experienced this deeply and I hope that people all over the world find themselves

reflected in ‘Chitthiyan’; that they realize life always goes on.

With ‘Chitthiyan,’ I embark on a new chapter of my artistic journey in the month of love. Teaming up with Qyuki, you can expect a diverse array of songs in the near future!”
