ACCLAIMED INDIAN ACTOR FARHAN RELEASES DEBUT SINGLE 'REAR VIEW MIRROR'

Ever wondered what it would vocally sound like if the late David Bowie and Horace Andy had got together to release an Alternative Indie number…you should give Farhan a listen to, a singer and songwriter who is most definitely not influenced by anything current when listening to his new single “Rear View Mirror,” which delivers an unusual Folk music production easily comparable to musical innovators such as Johnny Cash. Not only does “Rear View Mirror” showcase one of the most unique voices ROUGH ONLINE have heard since the start of the magazine, it also includes a chord progression that only a lover of music artists Leonard Cohen and the legendary Bowie could deliver, via mid-tempo drums and a slight inclusion of Soul vibes featuring a brass section in the chorus sections.

It’s so refreshing to hear a music artist that is not entirely in-tune with today’s mainstream expectations, but instead delivers music which comes from a creatively authentic place and represents the Alt-music sound of the 60’s and 70’s so masterfully, and it would be no surprise if some of Farhan’s inspiration and influence comes from famous rockers such as Iggy Pop. ROUGH ONLINE also applaud Farhan’s fearlessness to explore the music world after making a name for himself as a Bollywood actor, and we are so thankful that he made this move during a time where most popular music artists today have become so complacent and hell-bent on delivering the same sound over and over again. Farhan…thank you for restoring ROUGH ONLINE’s faith in the music world. Download and stream the new single “Rear View Mirror” out now. Farhan’s album “Echoes” drops on January 25th next year.
