Over a quiet coffee, Siddhant Goenka shared the inside story of Parchaiyan, his latest single set to release on October 29, 2024. The track, a blend of rock energy and emotional lyrics, is his first duet and pairs his voice with Shreya Phukan’s distinctive style. Reflecting on how he chose Shreya for the collaboration, he says, “It just clicked. Her voice had this sweetness that balanced the energy of the song. She brought something different that the track needed, and it felt like a natural fit.” This is a new direction for Siddhant, whose past work has always been solo. The decision to bring in another vocalist added more depth to the story, as well as a unique challenge to keep both voices aligned.
The production side of Parchaiyan was another familiar territory for Siddhant, who partnered again with producer Pratham Sheth. “Pratham and I have worked together from day one. We have a good rhythm and trust. He knows how to take the core of my ideas and make them sound better.” Along with guitarist Hamza Khan’s trademark solos, the team created a layered rock sound that captures the track’s intensity and gives it a feeling of completeness.
When we ask what Parchaiyan is about, Siddhant describes it simply as “a conversation that’s left unfinished.” The lyrics explore the emotions of separation—there’s a mix of regret and resilience, with the tension built up by hard-hitting drums and guitars. “It’s got that punchy, high-energy rock feel, but underneath, it’s about letting go,” he shares. Interestingly, the song’s hook came to Siddhant over a year ago, in October 2023, but he didn’t rush the process. “I just let the song take shape in its own time. I think sometimes the music has to sit with you a while,” he says.
The video for Parchaiyan brings something different as well. For the first time, Siddhant makes a virtual appearance through AI, adding a subtle layer of personal touch without taking over the story. The plot? It follows someone coping with the end of a relationship, experiencing the ups and downs with the intensity the music mirrors. “It’s not a typical breakup story. It’s more about the way we process it, not just sulking but really facing those feelings,” he explains.
Looking ahead, Siddhant is focused on bringing more layered rock tracks, but without the frills. “I want the music to feel real, to reach people without overcomplicating things,” he says. Parchaiyan feels like a step forward, not just musically but as a chance to experiment with storytelling and collaboration.
