Strongest Boy Alive: Savera's Deeply Personal Debut EP Captures Solitude And Healing
Last Updated: Savera releases his debut solo EP Strongest Boy Alive, a self-produced, Hindi-language record exploring love, loss, and healing through seven emotional tracks. Savera, one of the most distinctive voices in India's music scene, has just released his highly awaited debut solo EP, Strongest Boy Alive. Known for his popular work in Bollywood, including acclaimed tracks like Jaadu from Netflix's Jewel Thief, and hits like Doobey from Gehraiyaan and Kho Gaye Hum Kahan, Savera now steps into a more intimate, introspective space with this seven-track offering, written, composed, and produced entirely by him. The EP, which dropped on June 14, opens a new chapter in Savera's artistic evolution. Made in solitude, it is a vulnerable, self-reflective record shaped during long walks, quiet days of surfing, and deep personal stillness. The latest single from the EP, Galtiyaan, featuring vocalist Nikhita Gandhi, was released a day prior to the full project and captures the restless pulse of Mumbai — its noise, blur, and emotional chaos. It's a song about seeking connection in the wrong places, only to be left emptier than before. Earlier, Savera had released Aahista and Veer Mere — the latter in collaboration with Punjabi artist Burrah — both of which received warm appreciation from fans. Each track on Strongest Boy Alive reveals a different layer of emotional complexity. From the calm introspection of Aahista to the quiet sorrow in Veer Mere, the late-night confusion of Galtiyaan, the glimmer of optimism in Fiza, the acceptance in Deewar, and the emotional core in the title track Strongest Boy Alive, this EP is more than a collection of songs. It is a gentle reckoning. The final track, Aahista (Acoustic), is accompanied by a performance video on Savera's YouTube channel. Speaking about the EP, Savera says, 'This isn't a concept project, but it is written in stillness, reflection, the quiet mess of being human. These songs weren't made to impress anyone. They were made while slowing down, while trying to make sense of things — love, mistakes, grief, healing. It's not perfect. But it's honest." Savera's musical journey began long before the fame. Raised on his grandmother's poetry, he picked up the guitar at eight, formed a punk rock band in his early teens, and began shaping a unique voice that blends raw emotion with sonic craftsmanship. He cut his teeth composing over 500 brand pieces for companies like H&M, Nissan, and Taj, before making his breakthrough in Bollywood. His work on Gehraiyaan in collaboration with OAFF catapulted him to widespread recognition, with Doobey alone crossing 125 million Spotify streams. He has since received accolades including the Mirchi Music Award for Best Upcoming Music Composer and an IIFA nomination for Best Music Director. Now based in Goa, Savera leads a life far from the industry spotlight, often off the grid, grounded by the sea, music, chess, and his pets. That quiet lifestyle pulses through every note on Strongest Boy Alive, a body of work that marks a bold and heartfelt entry into India's independent music landscape. The EP is now available on all leading streaming platforms. First Published: June 14, 2025, 18:58 IST
