When people talk about music in Mumbai, most jump straight to Bollywood. Fair. It is attractive, loud and everywhere. But something different happens in the cool corners of the city cafes, the college complexes and the jams late at night. This is the place where the indie music scene of Mumbai is really alive. And now all ears are set in a new voice: Krishna Pandey. He has just called a romantic single an 'unspoken', and if you ever love someone silently or continue to hide a feeling, this song will be a hit in the heart.
Wait, What Even Is Indie Music?
Okay, real quick—indie doesn’t mean a type of music exactly. It means independent. These are artists doing their thing without big record labels calling the shots. No one’s telling them what beats to use or how to dress for an album cover.
It’s:
- Raw
- Honest
- Usually low-budget but high-feeling
- Less noise, more emotion
And honestly? That’s what makes it special.
Who Is Krishna Pandey?
He’s no longer from a movie family. He’s no longer been on a reality show. He’s just a man who writes songs, sings from the intestine, and puts his songs available for the world to hear.
- Based in: Mumbai
- Age: Early 20s
- Style: Acoustic, Hindi indie-pop
- Influences: A blend of Arijit Singh’s emotion and Prateek Kuhad’s simplicity
- Plays: Guitar, and piano.
Krishna started small covers on Instagram, nearby open mics, and a few night time gigs in Bandra. Slowly, his target audience grew—not because he chased reputation, but because humans observed themselves in his track.
The Song: ‘Unspoken’
The Story
‘Unspoken’ is about the things you feel but never say to the person you want to yet. Like that friend you almost confessed to but did not. Or that someone you liked way too much, but it wasn’t the right time. It’s not about heartbreak exactly—more like that quiet ache you carry.
Vibe Check:
- Mood: Soft, slightly sad but peaceful
- Length: Around 3 minutes 50 seconds
- Release: Dropped this month
There are no loud beats. Just soft strums, piano, and Krishna’s voice doing most of the work.
Why This Song Works
Let’s be honest. A lot of love songs today feel over the top. Too perfect. Too polished. Too much.
‘Unspoken’ does the opposite.
- No big instruments
- No autotune
- No trying too hard
Just feelings. As they are. Some lines feel like stuff you’ve probably written in a diary or texted and deleted.

Music Video = Simple and Real
Forget dancers or big sets. The "Unspoken" music video is simple yet impactful. This is the only moment - outside a window, walking on the road with the headphones and passing your eyes. You know that when you are around someone and everything is almost happening, but it doesn't happen, but not? What is this video?
People Are Loving It
The response so far has been wild—in the best way. No ads, no paid promos. Just word of mouth and shares.
What listeners are saying:
- “Reminds me of my school crush.”
- “Together, it was like a cozy embrace and a little heartbreak.”
And the numbers?
- Spotify: Already picking up streams
- Instagram: Loads of reels and edits
- YouTube: People are commenting things like “I cried” and “thank you for this”
It’s hitting across ages—teens, college students, even people in their 40s are sharing their own "unspoken" stories in the comments.
Why Krishna Pandey Is Someone to Watch
He’s not trying to be a star. He’s trying to be real.
And maybe that’s why he stands out.
He:
- Writes his own songs
- Stays away from big production drama
- Performs in tiny spaces with big heart
- Connects with people, not algorithms
You get the feeling he’d sing the same way whether 5 or 5,000 people were listening.
The Indie Scene in Mumbai Right Now
Something is happening.
- More artists are skipping the big labels
- Fans are supporting smaller musicians
- Venues are opening up for singer-songwriters
- Playlists are starting to include lesser-known names
Platforms like Spotify India, YouTube, and Instagram Reels are helping a lot. Krishna isn’t the only one, but right now, he’s definitely leading with heart.
What’s Next for Krishna?
If you follow him online (and you should), you’ll see he’s working on more originals. Rumors say there’s a new EP coming soon—songs about friendships, family, and growing up.
He’s also planning to perform at:
- College fests
- Mumbai art cafés
- Acoustic evenings in Delhi and Pune
And the best part? He wants to stay indie. No big contracts. Just honest music.
“If one person listens to my song and feels a little less alone, that’s success to me,” Krishna said in a Q&A on Instagram.
In Conclusion: The Power of the Unspoken
Not every love story needs fireworks. Sometimes, the quiet ones stay with us longer.
‘Unspoken’ isn’t just a song. It’s a feeling. A memory. A deep breath you never took. And thanks to Krishna Pandey, now we have a song for that silence.
