Indian Indie Star Kamakshi Khanna Delivers Raw Emotion and Polished Production in Long-Awaited Sophomore Release ‘Heartbreak 2020‘
Kamakshi Khanna, a famous independent singer-songwriter, has released her long-awaited second EP, “Heartbreak 2020.”
After the success of her songs “Love Is Not A Fucking Game” and “I Blew It!,” this new collection is a big step in her artistic career. It’s been ten years since her first EP, which started her music career.
Building on the success of her ‘Green Room Sessions‘, which were based on a lockdown, Khanna has turned those small, acoustic shows into full-on pop hits.
Kamakshi Khanna is known as one of the most important female sounds in Indian independent music. She can easily switch between styles and languages because she has studied both Hindustani and Western traditional music.
The first song from the EP, “Love Is Not A F*cking Game,” sets the tone with its honest words and powerful beat, showing how brave Khanna has become.
Together with Anhad Khanna and Raag Sethi, producer Pranay Parti has created a soundscape that goes perfectly with Khanna‘s emotional singing. It’s a production that mixes current pop sounds with R&B and soul sounds, making a rich background for Khanna’s stories.
The EP is very deep when it comes to love, loss, and finding out who you are. Each song is based on a real experience Kamakshi had in her 20s and includes topics like awkward dates, mind games, short-lived relationships, and love that isn’t returned. Her words are honest and easy to relate to, taking viewers on an emotional journey through a storm of feelings.

Each song on “Heartbreak 2020” deals with a different aspect of being in a bad relationship. From the tense energy of “I Blew It!” to the sweet acceptance of “Tourist,” Khanna’s songs show the different stages of heartbreak. Her words are surprisingly honest, and they hit on feelings of love and loss that everyone has in a very clear way.
Khanna’s singing on the EP is one of the best parts. It’s clear that she can show real feeling while staying completely in control, especially on the title track “Heartbreak 2020.”
In this song, her voice soars over rich instrumentals, showing that she is both weak and strong. The EP flows naturally, which is a lot like how relationships are when you’re in your 20s.
“Heartbreak 2020” makes Kamakshi Khanna a strong player in the indie pop scene around the world. She’s made a work that is both highly personal and widely relevant by sharing her personal experiences without fear. This EP is more than just a bunch of breakup songs; it’s a celebration of getting through tough times and finding yourself.
Khanna’s mix of honest words and slick pop music will appeal to fans of Olivia Rodrigo and Phoebe Bridgers.
Kamakshi Khanna shows on “Heartbreak 2020” that she can write songs and sing well enough to be with the best in modern pop.
“Heartbreak 2020” is both a record of Khanna’s past heartaches and a strong statement of her artistic purpose as she starts a new part of her career. It’s an exciting sign of what this growing star will do next.
