Rolling Stone India Featured Article
Mumbai-bred singer-songwriter Leah Khambata has always been involved with the arts ever since she was a toddler. From singing songs off the 1964 musical drama My Fair Lady to being inspired by American musician Taylor Swift to write her own songs, Khambata says, “The arts were immensely appreciated. Not just by my parents, but by all the generations in my family.”
After studying in the U.S. and U.K., Khambata began releasing music in 2019 and has since dropped a few singles as well as a four-track EP entitled Higher At Last. Her latest offering is the breezy acoustic leaning track “Calling You Home.”
Khambata penned the new song in April 2020 but didn’t get the chance to record it due to the pandemic. The track features dreamy and uplifting instrumentation, her soulful and calming voice as well as catchy melodies. The singer-songwriter says, “It’s about being separated from a loved one.” She adds, “The pandemic was hard for everyone in so many ways, one of which was not being able to see the people we love for over a year.”
