Qoini Releases his Latest Single Ghissey Jootey

Ghissey Jootey is a song that perfectly encapsulates what the year 2020 meant to the artists. It captures the raw emotion and tragic loss he has experienced during the pandemic, mirroring the suffering that millions have faced: the young artist lost three of his family members to Corona in an unexpected and short span of time. During the time he was mourning their passing, he was able to transfer his feelings into lyrics which is when he penned this beautiful song, a starting point for GHISSEY JOOTEY.

“Ghissey itne jootey par kitna chala hun, lage ussi jagah hun

Kya jootey bole jhoot ya shuru jo kia aake wahi khada hun”

As the world shut down, so did Guglani’s career, which was on the rise pre-Corona. His shoots were shelved, he could not visit any studios to record quality music. After weeks of failed attempts and research, he did not give up. Determined that the country hear his song, the young artist spent his limited earnings to set up studio equipment within his home with the resources he had at hand: He came up with an amazing idea and carved out a vocal booth out of a laundry bucket. Eventually, he transformed his living room into a studio where this single was passionately birthed.

The song also touches upon the introspection and isolation that was common to the world during 2020. After the release of the song, Guglani said “ Life has been hard on everyone in the year 2020. Making sure that each moment counts the song resonates. Ghissey Jootey is about a common man with a broken soul struggling hard to express his emotions amidst all the chaos and the mundane episodes of his life”

Guglani’s struggles are also apparent in the artwork of the single which he claims people are free to interpret as per their understanding. According to Guglani, the man and his vision (in the oeuvre) are blinded by the clouds, but when they clear, the sky will be the limit.

Guglani’s efforts were not in vain: the song hit a chord with the audience and crossed 11 thousand streams in just one week within its release, proving his genius.
