After a fairly peaceful stretch following 2022’s The Way That Lovers DoPrateek Kuhad is back with a brand-new full-length job. The singer-songwriter has actually revealed his 3rd studio album, Moon Chamberout on July 10 through Atlantic Records, along with the release of its lead single, “Blush.”
The brand-new track leans into the intimate, mentally charged songwriting Kuhad has actually constructed his profession on, opening with mild guitar riffs before unfolding into a hazy meditation on infatuation. “It’s that heady sensation of infatuation that includes conference someone and succumbing to them hard,” Kuhad stated in a declaration.
The video for “Blush” echoes the “cold/mess” vocalist’s signature downplayed, lo-fi visual, cutting in between Kuhad strumming his guitar in a stripped-back space and rough close-ups catching the vulnerability of brand-new love.

While Kuhad’s work typically fixates restrained acoustic plans and melancholy lyricism, Moon Chamber is placed as something more transitional. The album was developed in between New York City and Los Angeles throughout what Kuhad refers to as an unstable individual and expert duration.
“I went through a great deal of unpredictability for a number of years. The music market altered. A lot altered for me personally too,” he stated.”But through all of it, I wound up discovering a part of myself that I had actually lost. The album follows that arc.”
The record was established with Los Angeles-based manufacturer Nick Ruth, understood for his deal with artists consisting of Kelly Clarkson and Bakar, who assisted combine the recordings made throughout various sessions and partners.
While Kuhad briefly rotated towards Hindi songwriting with his 2023 EP Mulaqathis current releases have actually mostly fixated English-language songs, a trajectory that Moon Chamber appears set to continue.
