Paapi - Single

On his debut full-length Class-Sikh, Prabh Deep revealed a penchant for lyrical wordplay and grand, ambitious narratives. For sophomore album Tabia—released on 4 March 2021—the Azadi Records poster boy shows that he’s developed the production and composition chops to match. “I’ve been writing this album for so long,” says Prabh, who recorded half the album at Karma Studios in Thailand over two sessions a year apart, and the rest in Mumbai. “It’s about the different personalities you develop as you grow and change as a human being…about your evolution as a human being.” Prabh Deep guides Apple Music through “Paapi”, a standout cut from Tabia that you can now enjoy in Spatial Audio.
Paapi “This song is about being in a very f****d-up mind space, but still woke. When you know you’re on the wrong path but it takes a lot of effort to get off it on your own. It’s about that, and it ends with [the idea that] it’s really important to forgive yourself. It doesn’t matter if you’ve asked for forgiveness from the people you’ve wronged. Unless you forgive yourself you’ll always be at battle in your head. Sonically, it’s so aggressive—the guitars, the synths, the saxophone, that slap-bass section. It has all the aggression I wanted to articulate.”
