Pryti recently released her affecting and inspirational new single ‘Zero’ and now she’s revealed a music video to match the positive vibrations of the track. As she says, it’s “about finding light when you’re surrounded by darkness. It’s about the hope that lives in that light.”
Pryti has been exploring her spirituality since the release of last album ‘Searching for Now, Lost in Again’ in 2022. “My psychic told me during a reading that Spirit was saying to put this particular frequency into my music, especially Zero, as it would help heal me and others. I didn’t even tell her what the songs I was going to record were called,” Pryti says. “When I was getting the first mixes back I couldn’t stop crying. It’s very cathartic. I built illusions for myself and Lord Shiva tore them down.”
The track “is about coming out of depression and going back in,” Pryti elaborates further. “It’s when you know rock bottom is coming and you don’t want to be in the dark anymore so are desperately trying to find your way out of it.” The track incorporates a driving instrumental with an oscillating piano line and a supreme vocal delivery. It truly is an anthem for the lost, an unfaltering search for light in the darkness. “How do I start again?” she says. “How do you start from rock bottom?”
“I write my music for people who don’t fit in,” Pryti is proud to admit. In addition to her powerhouse vocals, the British-Indian singer-songwriter plays bass, guitar and piano, taking cues from artists like Architects, Deftones, Finch, Linkin Park and Paramore all the way through to the more pop-influenced likes of Now, Now, Halsey and Sarah McLachlan. This eclectic mix shows up in Pryti’s melancholic music, which innovatively blends alternative, emo and metal elements with an electronic edge.
Pryti’s debut EP, 2013’s ‘Welcome to Pariahville’, got a shout out from Architects’ Sam Carter in Kerrang! – on a day where Pryti hadn’t been sure about continuing in music. “I was like, ‘Oh, this is a sign: keep going!’” she recalls. Pryti released her debut album, ‘Tales of a Melancholic’, in 2015, following it up with her 2022 sophomore LP ‘Searching for Now, Lost in Again’, which saw her experimenting with genre. Along the way, she’s earned acclaim from a plethora of media including Kerrang!, Metal Hammer, Rock Sound, BBC Radio 1 Introducing Rock, and even Rolling Stone India.
