The smooth melodicism of singer/songwriter Prateek Kuhad spans graceful indie folk and tender adult pop songs largely concerned with matters of heart. Recording some of his songs in Hindi and some in English, Kuhad followed his earliest EPs with the debut album In Tokens & Charms in 2015. Already a star in his native India, his popularity surged internationally as his 2016 single "cold/mess" made its way across the continents; by the time the cold/mess EP saw release in 2019, he was selling out club tours in the U.S. He committed to a sophisticated soft rock sound on his second album, 2022's all English-language The Way That Lovers Do.
