- A Humming Heart
Music website focusing on Indian independent and film music. Over time, we have tried to build a space where all ideas, safe and wacky, can flow freely.
A Humming Heart is an Indian music publication where we talk about both film and non-film music, with a heavy focus on the independent music industry. We have come a long way, longer than anyone of us had imagined since we sat down in November 2017 to reinvent a dying blog. During the first few years of the existence of AHH – our toddler years – we were still figuring out our vision and our motiva
tion. As we have grown and gained more consciousness and understanding of the world of music we have entered, we have also attained a better idea of where AHH is headed. We are at the next stage now with a reformed and ever-strong passion for writing, different styles of music and learning. It is easy to get swayed by the rapid growth we are witnessing in the digital space and ignore the possibility of misconduct in the dash to release the next hot single, catch eyeballs with the latest hot take or set up the hippest music festival. We do not shy away from giving a voice to the issues and discrepancies that get buried under the avalanche of new music coming out every single day. We can see our vision shaping up into reality and our source of motivation comes from our dedicated readers. We are great admirers of Indian film music and are working towards expanding our coverage of the same. For now, we have a very heavy focus on Indian independent music. The independent music industry at a nascent stage and so is A Humming Heart. We hope to grow alongside it and give our readers a front seat to witness its evolution.

Amid sharp opposition criticism over an allegedly deteriorating law and order situation, Punjab’s Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government Sunday ordered a complete ban on public display of weapons and songs glorifying violence.
According to the order, “public display and exhibition of weapons including on social media” as well as songs glorifying weapons or violence are to be banned.
Back in Feb 2020, the Punjab Police registered a case against Sidhu Moosewala and Mankirt Aulakh for allegedly promoting violence and gun culture.
Moosewala himself was tragically gunned down on May 29 in Mansa's Jawahar Ke village after his car was waylaid and boxed in by a group of assailants.

In the world of Indian hip-hop where everyone jumped into high demand in the post-Gully Boy culture industry, Shillong artist Meba Ofilia was among those to be thrust into the spotlight. After all, she and rapper Big Ri won the MTV European Music Award for Best Indian act.
So she’s not been one who had to prove her place in Indian hip-hop by any means, but when she announced her album Untitled.shg, it was clearly the culmination of something that the singer-songwriter and rapper had been chipping away at for some time.
