Rushil Aswal Brings alive the Many Shades of Love in His New Single Paani Ki Lehar

Following the success of his acclaimed track, Kehne Lagaa, singer-songwriter and multidisciplinary artist Rushil Aswal unveils his latest single Paani Ki Lehar. The track marks the second release from his upcoming 5-song EP Pyaar, Tukdo Mein… and dives deep into the kind of love that moves like a tide - quiet yet all-consuming.

With sweeping, cinematic melodies carried by the rhythm of marching drums, Paani Ki Lehar is as expansive as it is intimate. The arrangement builds like a tide - gentle at first, then rising into an expansive soundscape that mirrors the emotional weight of the lyrics. The layered production by Akhil Joseph, and written by Rushil Aswal, gives the track both polish and depth. At its heart, though, the song remains raw and vulnerable, anchored by Rushil’s evocative vocals and the striking metaphor “main nadiyon mein pathhar, tera pyaar hai jharna, ye padta jo mujhpar tabhi aakaar main loon.” Like water shaping stone, the music and words together remind us of how love slowly carves us into who we are meant to become.

Speaking about the single, Rushil shares: “With Paani Ki Lehar, I wanted to capture love in its most unspoken intensity. The kind that doesn’t dazzle on the surface but pulls you inward, until you feel its weight and its beauty in silence. It’s about surrendering to a force larger than yourself - one that transforms you completely. I truly hope listeners can connect with not just the song, but also the narrative we’ve tried to bring alive through the music video, and find a piece of their own story in it.”

The release is accompanied by a visually arresting music video, directed by Rushil Aswal and shot by Shubham Dabas, that is nearly 90% underwater. More than a backdrop, the water becomes a living character - symbolizing the fluidity, turbulence, and depth of love. The filmic narrative follows love through its rawest arcs: finding, falling, breaking, healing, fighting, and finally surrendering to the current together.

With Paani Ki Lehar, Rushil deepens his artistry by blending heartfelt storytelling with immersive visuals. It’s not just a song to listen to or a video to watch - it’s an experience meant to be felt, drawing people into the raw chaos and tender beauty of love.
