About the Track – ‘Nikamma’
The title, ‘NIKAMMA,’ is a term familiar in Indian households, often used to motivate individuals to strive for greatness. However, the song challenges this notion. ‘NIKAMMA’ is a rebellious anthem, expressing the frustration of being misunderstood while pursuing one’s unique vision. With the spirit of punk rock coursing through its veins, this high-energy Indie pop-rock track features a blazing solo by the country’s top guitarist, Moses Koul.
Bharg Kale sheds light on the inspiration behind the lead track ‘Nikamma’, “It’s a sentiment prevalent in every Indian household, where children often clash with their parents over a perceived lack of understanding. There are moments when you might feel somewhat adrift, labelled as a ‘Nikamma.’ It’s about embracing your true self, knowing your worth, and eagerly awaiting the opportunity to showcase your unique talents. It’s about reaching a point where you no longer seek validation, accepting that some may not comprehend you. You forge ahead, determined to pursue your passions. It’s a declaration of self-assurance—society can brand you as a ‘Nikamma,’ but you hold steadfast in your vision. You understand your purpose, and that’s what matters most. This is who I am, this is how I operate, and this is what I’ll pursue. It’s about staying true to oneself”.
