Once a part of Delhi-based Big Bang Blues, vocalist Ipshita Roy has toured the entire country. Last year, marriage brought her to Mumbai. &ldquo;I am here to explore possibilities,&rdquo; says the 29-year-old.
Under the moniker, Mrs Ippi Duo &mdash; comprising her pianist friend, Rythem Bansal &mdash; Roy will sketch her musical, and her journey, at a gig tonight. Bass player Abhinav Khokhar makes a special appearance. Roy has worked with session musicians, and over the years, written a variety of tunes. &ldquo;My music is influenced by Jazz and Blues; that&rsquo;s what my sound has become of late.

Expect such inspirations at her first gig in the city in the new set-up. &ldquo;I will present renditions of some of my loved tunes; Jazz standards as well as covers. Among the originals is the first single I released with a video on YouTube. It is a song called Your Love; I wrote it for my husband,&rdquo; she smiles.
Her music is not just about mushy tunes.In one song, Regret or Question, she asks pertinent and personal questions. &ldquo;You tend to look back at certain situations and wonder whether it was wise for you to have acted the way you did. The song is about that dilemma,&rdquo; adds Roy. &ldquo;I think it is one of my best efforts till date.&rdquo;

Also, keep an ear out for Time Capsule, a track on on Latin music template. There will also be a Bengali rendition of the song. &ldquo;It is a story about two lovers meeting without knowing the outcome of their relationship in the long run,&rdquo; says Roy.
Roy will try out a few songs by American Jazz singer, Melody Gardot. &ldquo;Her music is subtle and sublime. It is absolutely refreshing. You will never be bored. I am doing a song called Quiet Fire (a typical Blues groove with haunting vocals),&rdquo; says Roy. The other covers include Whitney Houston&rsquo;s I&rsquo;m Your Baby Tonight. If you can&rsquo;t catch her gig tonight, Roy plans to cut an EP by the end of the year.
