Manpreet Kundi brings to her new single “unresolved” a level of emotional depth and detail even though it seems to come from a place of youthful infatuation. With spare and gentle guitar work and melancholic washes of synth and electronic strings, Kundi frames her song in which we hear moments of sensory memory that anchor feelings of love and affection in your mind like longing gazes, kisses on the neck and shared “frantic” heartbeats when together. But there is a suspicion that can’t be ignored that concludes each section of the song when Kundi realizes “You just won’t say a word.” The whole song Kundi sings of expressions of love and regard without getting them back the way you expect and thus you hear the hint of future heartbreak without them needing to be said because anyone that has felt similarly about anyone else in a similar situation recognizes that moment of realization even when you know your feelings were at least honest and genuine regardless of their reciprocation.

Manpreet Kundi’s “salvage” is a Palpably Vulnerable Song About a Relationship in Irreconcilable Shambles

The colorful urban backdrop to Manpreet Kundi’s music video for “salvage” establishes a mood of normalcy and the mundane while she walks in what looks like a park with trees in twisting shapes like she’s singing the painfully confessional song in a secret and protected haven. With a minimal piano melody and mournful strings tracing her resonant and vulnerable vocals, Kundi conveys a tender pain that comes through accepting that a relationship is over and that really it got to the point where there is no way to salvage what bond and connection there once was, even assuming there was one because in the song we hear the realization that all the real communication and genuine feeling came from one party and seemingly little from the other and somehow that hurts worse than if the split was born of a normal conflict or disconnect that develops out of points of incompatibility. What makes the song especially poignant and effective is that it comes from a place of resignation and not rancor and because of that it hits a little harder emotionally.

Manpreet Kundi’s Ethereal and Gentle Pop Song “don’t wake me” Inspires Indulging the Freedom of Dreams to Feel Deeply and Beyond the Demands of Everyday Life

Manpreet Kundi’s breathy vocals on the acoustic version of “don’t wake me” seem to serve as the aesthetic style of the rest of the instrumentation on the track. The piano, the strings and even the spare percussion have a touch of reverb that convey a sense of space and an air of the dreamlike suggested by the song’s lyrics. Kundi seems to be singing about a preference for bright dreams of a life where her feelings aren’t treated with a dismissive spirit and where “no consequence, no heaviness” can bring down getting to feel a sense of hope and potential fulfillment even if just in that time before waking. The simple request of wanting not to be woken up before the dreams take their natural course is pretty understandable especially when waking life can have so many heartbreaking complications. The contemplative, wistful tone of the song has an intimate immediacy that draws the listener in with words and sentiments that draw on basic emotional needs everyone has at some point in their lives when so much of our energy and attention is demanded by jobs, by family, by friends, by the world around us and we need some time to enjoy a pure feeling of bliss separate from the emotional rat race.

Manpreet Kundi Encourages us to Connect With Our Intuitive Self on “Don’t Wake Me”

Manpreet Kundi paces her single “Don’t Wake Me” like a casual stroll down a luminous, fog enshrouded pathway. Her breathy vocals sketches memories and hopes mixed together in the infinite potential of life in dreams. During the course of the song Kundi examines her feelings and desires for life with a spirit of gentleness and asking no one wake her from this state where the mind is whole and functioning outside the divide of rational and irrational, emotional and logical, we assume during our waking moments. In the state of lucid dreaming suggested by Kundi’s lyrics we are perhaps most free to reach toward personal truths that can manifest in beneficial consequences for life once we wake up if we indulge the time to go with the flow of what might be called dreamtime in the sense of the Aboriginal concept and our connection to it as an intuitive process that synthesizes all aspects of our minds. Kundi sings about this in a more poetic fashion utilizing imagery and experiences from dreams but the message is clear that we want ourselves and others to allow us to learn to trust our best internal voices in self-healing and to make our most authentic choices. The soothing, dream pop in which Kundi sets her song to spare piano, ethereal strings and washes of synth only makes the heady content more easily accessible.
