Small EP, Big Impressions: Chaar Diwaari's Parvana
A moth, a flame, Sonu Nigam, and the most surprising DHH project of the year.

"Parvana" is a short but striking EP from Chaar Diwaari, and it has been living in our heads rent free.
Personally, anything Diwaari has put out until now had not stuck with me. His projects seemingly just came and went, with nothing memorable about them. Which is why "Parvana" took me by surprise.
The melodic approach here is something else. What really pulls you in is the concept. He paints himself as a moth, completely obsessed with a flame, progressively burning himself just to become one with the light. He explores a divine kind of love that is also dangerous. It is poetic, it is haunting, and it hits different when you actually sit with it.
And the features? Genuinely tough. Some of them might even outshine the main man. This man got Sonu Nigam on one track and brought Indian Ocean's sound to DHH. He pushes his sonic influences even further here, bringing originality to a genre that can feel deprived of it half the time.
We give it a 7 out of 10, with "Aashiqana" and "Chand" as the highlights.
