MUMBAI: October has been real kind to those craving for music videos. Singer-songwriter Ankur Tewari welcomed the visual admirers to the month with the release of his music video for ‘Aa Jao’ , from the recently launched album ‘Side A/Side B’. On the very exact day, Kolkata pop duo ‘Parekh & Singh’ unleashed the video for ‘I Love You Baby I Love You Doll’ that drew comparisons with Wes Anderson’s works, and soon went viral for all the right reasons. A fortnight later, Orissa’s heavy metal band ‘Against Evil’ put up its first music video (a rarity for the genre from the country) for ‘Stand Up and Fight!’ that soon ended with deserved acknowledgment from metal musicians across the country.
Three more acts continued with the growing trend to the second half of the month, and one after another, released music videos that not only help boost the outreach of the singles, but unlike several mainstream videos, justified the essence of the compositions.
