Compass Box Live Sessions

Recorded live in one take. _________________________ Formed in the True school of music, Queendom is a vocal trio, representing a delicate balance of individuality and cohesion. The band comprises Ananya Sharma, Brecilla D’souza and Damini Gautam; three stellar vocalists and co-writers. Queendom has been a versatile act delving into a variety of musical styles. Their repertoire ranges from Western popular and r&b, to uptempo jazz, to regional and Bollywood music as well. Pussytalk is addressed to our sisters and woman-kind, urging us to have each other's backs. The songwriting is unapologetic, using satire to highlight our experiences as brown women. When we celebrate each other, we subvert the patriarchal expectation of 'tearing other women down.' Featuring: Raag Sethi - Bass Chirag Todi - Guitar Shivang Kapadia - Drums Meera Desai - Vocals / Guitar Harmish Joshi - Clarinet & Saxophone _____________________________________________________ Compass Box Live Sessions is a platform to support and produce indie artists, if you would like to be featured to play your original music for the Live Sessions, fill out this form: https://www.compassboxstudio.com/the-live-sessions Shot by: Siddharth Nair Edited by: Raag Sethi Mixed by: Protyay Chakraborty Engineered & Produced by: Raag Sethi Check out Queendom's stuff!

Not a reeeeeeal woman V1 Boys play Where your dolls at girl? You wear shorts outside Did you leave your dignity at home? Got them curls Not straight enough Cat fight bitches Get them claws unleashed Need no snitches Cause you snitch, you die. Girl, you're not a woman yet Why why why It's 9th grade Where your periods at? Chorus: Lady lady lady We're minorities Why aren't you holding my hair when I'm puking my reality? You say We're united by tampons Don't give a damn, trampling me on Oh love... Its not the shape of my titties It's just your ass being petty V2 To touch, too much Does that make me a slut? A moment of restraint Why can't you be more fun? Only want to see skin If your waist fits in I've been ruling your rear from your castle of fears We may bleed alike But I'm not on your side x 2 Chorus- Lady lady lady We're minorities Why aren't you holding my hair when I'm puking my reality You say We're united by tampons Don't give a damn, trampling me on Oh love.. Its not rhe curve of my booty It's just your ass being petty Bridge: Bound by ways to tear each other down I hope you find the strength to Look me in the eyes when you break my crown And feel my pain Here i ask While you stab my back Is it worth the price we pay? Why am I being attacked By someone who knows my pain? Outro: Tell me where's your sister solidarity?

Recorded live in one take. _________________________ The Tapi Project's music is woven like fabric, organically grown on poetries. Centered around powerful vocals, the lyrics are coming alive, swallowing us in an ocean of emotions, singing stories about rivers, cramped-up life, lost values, and in essence, the universal search for the self. "Khuda Ne mere" was written by the Late Dr. Rahat Indori, whose depiction of a dejected warrior, inspired us to do this modern take on a ghazal-formed poetry. The song has constantly shifting time signatures, a progressive ever evolving melody, and modern arrangements!

Recorded live in one take. _________________________ Tshering Bhutia is an indie/folk singer-songwriter from Ahmedabad. She released her debut single ‘Grocery Shop’ in January, 2021. Later that year, she featured in the alternative rock single ‘Get Up’ by the band Crisscross. Her musical influences include Dodie and Clairo. Singing in choirs and studying the classical guitar has also influenced her style of writing. It's a cute girl meets girl plot. A trespasser sits on the chair I'd saved for a friend and begins the romcom. To think of crushes as trespassers is funny.

Recorded live in one take. _________________________ Gouri and Aksha are a singer-songwriter duo from Mumbai treading the thin line between soul and pop. Their music is rooted in honest songwriting and their love for creating a unique soundscape with layers of vocal harmonies. As the name suggests, the song Not About Love is a deliberate attempt at writing about anything but love, a topic that features heavily in a lot of their music. It's three or so minutes of no sappiness and preach-iness and gives the listeners time to celebrate exactly who they are.
