Singer songwriter Jewel Lasrado is elated to announce the release of Chai, a composition that transcends musical genres, weaving together Bossa Nova, soft rock, and indie elements. Beyond its melodic complexity, Chai" is a poignant reflection on resilience and finding tranquility amidst life's challenges.

The essence of "Chai" goes in the lyrical narrative of Chai, where each verse delves into the intricacies of an existential crisis, articulating a range of life's adversities. The chorus, however, stands as my steadfast declaration: "When the world's on fire, I'll be sipping chai." This refrain encapsulates the core message of the song – the ability to seek solace and embrace a carefree spirit, even in the face of adversity.

“The genesis of Chai stems from a personal moment of introspection. I penned this song during an evening marked by challenges, yet found solace in the simple act of sipping chai. This serenity became the inspiration for the song, and hence, the title "Chai", says the Bangalore based singer.

Speaking on the visual artistry, Lasrado says that the artistic expression extends beyond the auditory realm, “with me, personally, crafting the visual representation for "Chai." Beginning with a hand-drawn sketch, the artwork was refined using digital techniques.

Lasrado has a lot of plans for 2024. “While a music video is yet to materialize due to budget constraints, I remain optimistic about future possibilities. Looking ahead to 2024, I am already in the creative throes of a new single. Long-term plans include the release of additional singles before embarking on a journey abroad to study popular music”.

For those seeking a musical experience that combines resilience and serenity, Chai is a must-listen. Stay tuned for further developments and releases in 2024.
