मैना
series
Kahaan
What started as a single idea grew into a string of songs written over time, each in Hindi. “What I first thought would be a challenge, turned out to be an incredibly safe place to be vulnerable and create in.” reflects the artist. This progression of untangling is now called the Myna Series and continues to unfold through Rachel’s music.
Each single unravels a deeper knowing and a warmer learning, growth that thrives as it prunes. Every song is a different fragment, different elements in the same realm, wandering, receiving, and returning, offering hints of what’s to come. Together they exist in the same fabric of being, revealing slow and thoughtful evolution. Puzzle pieces—raw, untethered yet tender, much like the forest itself.
The Myna bird is a common yet profound presence, known for mimicking human voices, a reminder for us to voice our opinions and be mindful of the way we speak and to be sure that our expression can be the source of joy for others. It is a reflection of all our stories. It’s about finding your voice and using it, especially in moments and places where you feel small.
Unlike a traditional album, the “Mynaa Series” unfolds one song at a time as singles, mirroring the artist's own journey of learning and weaving new lessons into her story. “With every song, I’ve discovered greater clarity and grounding” shares Rachel. She believes that each song is meant to find its own space and time to exist in the world, rather than rushing to reach an ending.
