Matched with incredible production, it&#8217;s a fabulous introduction to the Canada-based artist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Opening with the instrumental, &#8216;Intro&#8217;, the listener is pulled into Thapar&#8217;s orbit, and before long, with title track, &#8216;Emotions&#8217;, we are caught in his thrall, unable to escape even if we wanted to. Track 3, the deeply moving ballad, &#8216;Sunset&#8217;, continues the enticing journey, while the ultimate track, &#8216;Time&#8217;, leaves us wanting more. Thankfully Thapar has more music up his sleeve, and fans can listen to his previous releases, the singles, &#8216;Six A.M.&#8217;, and &#8216;Are You Still You?&#8217;, to get their fix, while waiting for this incredible artist to release the more than 60 unpublished tracks in his repertoire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Clearly a natural talent, Thapar started his musical journey when he first picked up a guitar at the age of 6, and quickly expanded his skills to include chord progressions, and eventually singing along with his own guitar playing. He started performing at school events, and by the time he was 14, he played his own live concerts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8216;Emotions&#8217; is out now and is available to stream and download <a href=\"https:\/\/ditto.fm\/emotions-ep-arayansh-thapar\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/ditto.fm\/emotions-ep-arayansh-thapar\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>.
