Prateek Kuhad to Tour the US, Releases New Single

MUMBAI, (IANS) – Singer-songwriter Prateek Kuhad recently released his new single titled ‘Favorite Peeps’, which is his second offering from his upcoming album ‘The Way That Lovers Do’.

Kuhad also announced ‘The Way That Lovers Do’ tour, a North American headline run that will kick off on June 2 in Dallas. The month-long tour will include a performance at Lodge Room in Los Angeles on June 7 before wrapping up at New York City’s Irving Plaza on June 28.

The track describes a low point in the singer’s life as it subtly sheds light on his tryst with depression and the value of friends and family.

The music video for the song has been directed by Pranav Bhasin, scripted by Dar Gai and produced by Jugaad Motion Pictures.

Talking about how the track came into being, Prateek shared, “I was going through a rather difficult time, and it took me some time to pull myself together and appreciate the brighter side of things. At that point, I realized how your friends and your family and people who love you – can really help you navigate through the negativity and translate the bad thoughts in your head into good ones. And being there for them feels like a responsibility that almost makes you stronger and helps you get you back on track.”

The music video presents a stark contrast to the intense music. Bhasin said, “Despite the dark undertones of the track, the music video primarily focuses on the idea that ‘in the right company, sadness looks colorful.’ Depression isn’t always blue. That was central to my treatment. The film depicts a slow ripening and maturity of our internal struggle. One that all of us go through.”
