How is the music in the upcoming untitled album different from your previous work?
The lyrics of the new record are quite different from Ocean. They are a little more thought out and more universal in terms of emotional intent. There’s a reference to The Beatles and Woody Allen films.

Summer Skin is more than five minutes long. Was that a decision you made before you started recording?
It is the longest song on the album. I think our fans are open-minded and will be happy to go in new directions with us. The ending is the reason it’s five minutes long. It was organic. The vibe was fluid and relaxed, and Nishchay kept playing and singing once the planned arrangement ended.
