Varun Das – “Childlike”

“Childlike” by Varun Das is special and deserves your full attention. The way he mixes rock and jazz just feels so natural and unforced. You can hear those classic rock influences from the ’70s and those smooth jazz touches that shouldn’t work together but totally do.

Varun’s vocals are not overdone, but are genuine and heartfelt and the clean production has this raw energy that makes it feel alive. The perfect choice to record this was in New York City, the city’s energy is almost palpable in the background, but never overpowers the intimate feel of the song. He shows real skill as a songwriter in the way he structures the jazz parts with the rock elements.

I needed this song right now, in a world that moves way too fast, “Childlike” gives you permission to slow down and remember what joy feels like. The kind of track that lingers long after it’s over. Be sure to follow Varun Das on social media to stay updated with his music.
