Critically acclaimed singer-songwriter Prateek Kuhad has shared new single “Just Like A Movie.”
The emotive track, co-written and produced by GRAMMY-nominated writer and producer Gregg Wattenberg, arrives alongside a cinematic music video directed by Gus Black. The video is streaming now on Prateek’s official YouTube channel, and “Just Like A Movie” is available now on all streaming platforms via Elektra.
The track arrives ahead of Kuhad’s “Silhouettes Tour,” a headline run that kicks off its North American leg on April 25 in Atlanta, GA and wraps up at the iconic Beacon Theatre in New York City on June 1 before dates in the UK and Europe this fall (tour itinerary below). Tickets are available now via www.prateekkuhad.com.
2024 is already off to a strong start for the singer-songwriter, who supported Ed Sheeran’s Mumbai show earlier this month. The artist also released the tender, lilting ballad, “No Complaints” in January.
In the fall, Kuhad shared the Mulaqat EP, a five-track collection sung entirely in Hindi. Lead single “Mulaqat” arrived alongside an official music video starring famed Indian actress Tara Sutaria. The video is streaming now on Kuhad’s official YouTube channel and has racked up nearly six million views since its release. The Mulaqat EP is available now via Elektra.
Last spring, Kuhad shared a deluxe version of his latest album The Way That Lovers Do, which included an alternate version of “Bloom” featuring guest vocals from Indian-American R&B standout Raveena. The deluxe arrived on the heels of a breakout stretch for Kuhad that’s seen him grace the cover of India’s Rolling Stone, earn praise from Barack Obama on his famous year-end lists, and play to bigger audiences than ever across continents.
Despite all these accolades, Kuhad’s road to global acclaim was never an inevitable one – first giving songwriting a try while an international student at NYU after finding his love of artists like Elliott Smith, Laura Marling, and Fleet Foxes. Discovering a natural gift for the craft after dusting off his acoustic (he was kicked out of lessons during an earlier attempt to learn the instrument), Kuhad’s intimate heart-on-your-sleeve lyricism – in both English and Hindi – has turned heads around the world. Some other major moments include Kuhad becoming one of the most streamed domestic artists as Spotify launched in India, earning an “Artist To Watch” designation from NPR at his first SXSW, and seeing his music placed in pivotal scenes of top TV shows like Ted Lasso.
