Vikram Bam’s new single, “Make A Fool,” is a masterful blend of Indian and Western musical traditions, creating a listening experience that’s rich, layered, and emotionally engaging. Right from the beginning, the track draws you in with a lush soundscape—a tapestry of instrumental depth that reflects his unique musical background. The song opens with a beautiful blend of Bollywood-inspired strings, cinematic beats, and a resonant pop-rock rhythm, showcasing his talent for seamlessly combining diverse influences.
The song is a testament to Bam’s deep understanding of both the technical and emotional aspects of music, no doubt honed from his classical training and time at Berklee. His vocal delivery here is particularly impressive, as he transitions effortlessly from soft, introspective lines to powerful, soaring phrases that capture the song’s emotional weight. It’s a track that grows as you listen, with each layer revealing more about the underlying theme of self-exploration.
Adding to this auditory journey, the music video takes inspiration from Caravaggio’s painting “Narcissus,” bringing Bam’s themes of vanity and self-reflection vividly to life. The visuals are stunning, and they serve as a thought-provoking commentary on modern love, where self-obsession can hinder genuine connections. The visuals and the music complement each other perfectly, pulling the listener into a story that is not only beautiful but deeply personal. Vikram Bam has crafted a song and video that, together, make for a truly immersive experience—one that leaves a lasting impact on the listener.
