MUMBAI: Sid Vashi, the enigmatic producer from Mumbai, has been laying low since the release of his critically acclaimed debut album Azuma Kazuma.

Released in May 2017, the record united a multitude of urban genres and narrated a fascinating character study the likes of which only he could create. But, the talented artist was off the map for over a year now until the surprise release of Birds

Tune into the song here :

Birds has narratives different from that used in Azuma Kazuma. The song, Birds was originally meant to be the opener of Sid’s first album and follows the same narrative arc as Paper Bones. These songs can, therefore, be played interchangeably in the context of the album as a whole.

With this song, Azadi Records is venturing into other genres apart from the South Asian hip-hop, thus shouting loud of his diverse catalog coming this year.

Meanwhile, though not the opener, but Birds marks the end of any releases pertaining to Azuma Kazuma.
