Singer-songwriter and composer Ankur Tewari has unveiled his latest album, 'Mr. Faarigh', a concept album exploring the theme of procrastination. Tewari, an independent musician with a career spanning 25 years, describes the album as "intentionally rough around the edges" and delves into the complex interplay of perfectionism and analysis paralysis.
Born in Brussels and raised in Roorkee and Bhopal, Tewari's diverse upbringing has shaped his music and storytelling style. His mother's background in drama and his father's engineering have instilled in him a sense of curiosity that has influenced his craft. Tewari left a job in Delhi to pursue music in Mumbai, drawn by the feeling it brought him.
The album's title, 'Mr. Faarigh', is an Urdu/Arabic term meaning free, disengaged, or idle, symbolizing a carefree past and the current anxiety surrounding similar states. The album's nine songs form a narrative exploring themes of betrayal, relevance, belief, grit, and stages of grief, ultimately encouraging listeners to reconnect with their inner 'Faarigh' and celebrate the innocence and nativity we may have lost.
