“Seven is an all vocal instrumental, one of the first of its kind, set to one of our favourite time signatures. The song travels through genres and moods, influenced by everything from Carnatic classical music to Drum N Bass, culminating in a unique experience of humans serving as instruments, experimenting with and pushing the boundaries of the powers of the human voice.”
