Negotiating Oxytocin

Negotiating Oxytocin, the debut album of 16-year-old Pune-based composer, lyricist, and singer Upamanyu Mukherjee, debuted at No.1 on the iTunes Top 100 Albums in India Chart on release (10 August, 2023). The album, which stayed in the Top 10 over the release weekend, is placed in the emerging Alternative Pop, Alt Rock and Experimental Pop genres. It comprises seven tracks that address a range of subject matter from poignant love to alienation to passion.

Built around Upamanyu’s innovative songwriting and new-age approach to composition and production, the songs are further embellished by his deep baritone vocals. The disarming honesty of the lyrics are well complemented by the earnest and non-conventional vocal delivery, resulting in songs that are likely to strike a chord with listeners searching for alternative perspectives on negotiating matters of the heart.
