MUMBAI: Success always has a beautiful journey behind it. For Sam Chandel and Ankit Sahu, it has been an evolution that took off from a childhood influenced by music to being youth vocalists and finally emerging into a musical endeavour. They now are all set to launch their new album ‘Ghosts’, which is the culmination of their efforts of composing that began in 2019.
Why the name ‘Ghosts’, you may wonder? Sam and Ankit’s album name is meant to evoke the concept of the ghosts of the past. It symbolizes the residual feelings and memories that individuals carry from childhood, embodying perspective and thoughts as 90s’ kids. The album explores the way it perceived the world around and how those experiences have shaped the understanding of music. In essence, ‘Ghosts’ represents a combination of feelings, experiences, and perspectives—and how they perceived to influence us. The first song of the album will be launched on May 26, 2023 with six songs slated to be released each month.
Throughout their career, the talented singers continued to sing songs for other musicians and songwriters, becoming well-known names in the circuit. On June 24, 2014 they jointly began creating videos for a YouTube channel, starting with their very first song “Jeene lagaa hoon’. Today, that channel has over 24.1k subscribers.
