They still have doubts if they want to pursue music full time. The Journey AheadĪs independent artists in the field of music, which is considered unconventional by the society, Madhav and Sahaj have had their moments of doubts. They’ve even had the pleasure of meeting him in December 2020 at Osho Jain’s gig in Delhi, for which he was the sound engineer. They had collaborated with him during Madhav Khanna’s ‘Tooti Hu Main’. The mix and master of this track has been done by Prasad Maha. Such a view is unreal, but don’t all our hearts’ desire something which seems unachievable and impossible to us? Until, of course, we take that leap of faith and jump into the unknown. A man looks out towards the sky, and amidst the sky, one sees a ship sailing. The artwork is a vivid description of Udaan’s lyrics. For the artwork, Madhav and Sahaj reached out to Aninya.

They’ve worked together on songs previously, which has created a very comfortable bond between them. Madhav Khanna and Sahaj Chawla have a great synchronisation with each other. The song is also a step away from the conventional verse-chorus, verse-chorus format. So, in a way, Udaan is also a personal song, stemming from personal and real thoughts of contemplation and doubts. They were contemplating if they should take that dive, the full dive into the music industry. Madhav Khanna and Sahaj were also going through such an experience during the time of the making of Udaan. Udaan is a beautiful and hopeful song about taking that leap of faith into the unknown to beat that mental block. Just a few weeks later, Sahaj already had a basic framework for the song ready, which is the guitar riff and vocal melody you can hear in Udaan! Right after the release of Milon, the duo was already on the boat to a new song. The release of ‘Milon’ was just the beginning. The Processes Behind the Latest Single Udaan Later, they released Milon together, a song they co-produced and co-performed. In 2020, they released their first collaboration: Tooti Hoon Main, which was Madhav Khanna’s first single, and Sahaj produced and arranged it. There, they first met in a jam session hosted by the college’s music society. Madhav and Sahaj went to the same college: NMIMS, Mumbai. Madhav and Sahaj, friends, and artists, have collaborated and are bringing yet another musical artistry, ‘Udaan’, after their hit single ‘Milon’, a song which celebrated undying love. Let’s call the meetup of Madhav Khanna and Sahaj Chawla destiny, because it must be destiny’s work to bring such a duo together.
