Ankur Tewari
MR. FAARIGH
Album · Pop · 2026 · Misfits Inc.
To promote this album, Ankur Tewari launched a hotline where callers could choose one of nine specific emotional states and hear a snippet from the corresponding song on the LP. Throughout his 25-year career, the singer-songwriter has frequently played therapist to his fans. And on MR. FAARIGH, he offers solace for both betrayed (“KASAM SE”) and unrequited (“AFSOS”) lovers. But the record is nowhere near as despondent as his pandemic-set 2023 album Akela. Here, he’s a hopeless optimist who parties away pain on “1:15 AM (AFTER HOURS)” and slow-dances to his own tune (“MR. FAARIGH”).
