Arya Rao – “Credit List”

Arya Rao’s latest “Credit List” is my new favorite track of the week, from the rich lyrics to the stunning vocals, she knows how to make good music. The Indian-Australian artist has already proven her ability to blend raw honesty with sharp production, and this track builds on that momentum. She leans into alt-rock here, layering blues-inspired guitar with vocal textures that make the song stick in your head.

Arya has always managed to balance intimacy with scale, and “Credit List” is no exception. Her background in opera, Indian classical, and choral music shows in the way she pulls off something bold without losing the raw edge. The vocals are wonderful, and the writing is pointed and memorable, using metaphor in a way that feels natural and unforced.

Coming off the critical praise of her debut EP “Cry Love”, “Credit List” makes it clear she’s still pushing herself while staying connected to the roots that shaped her sound. Follow Arya Rao on social media to catch more of what she has lined up for 2025.
