Anjana’s debut EP explores love, doubt and self-discovery
Singer Anjana Padmanabhan has released her first EP, “Yes No Maybe?”, with five songs about love and self-discovery.
The tracks follow emotions ranging from uncertainty about pursuing love to heartbreak, needing space and choosing yourself.
Anjana began developing the songs after she and friends created short pieces during a stay in Dharamshala in 2025.
The EP also reflects questions and doubts that people can face when making creative work.
Its music draws on Anjana’s South Indian roots and includes elements such as Carnatic violin, konnakol, Kannada lyrics and a kazoo.
Anjana first became known as the winner of “Indian Idol Junior” in 2013 and has performed in 14 languages across several genres.
She says the closing track, “Azadi”, is intended to encourage listeners to accept who they are.
The EP is available on major music platforms.

The EP talks about the questions we ask ourselves when it comes to love, relationships and even our own identity
I have incorporated a Carnatic violin tune, konnakol, a verse in Kannada because I grew up in Bengaluru, and a kazoo, as they all connect me to who I am at the core
We constantly try to become a version of what the world wants us to be. When people listen to the tracks on the EP, they may be reminded of their own situations in life, but the last track, ‘Azadi’, will fill them with confidence as it helps them accept who they are and be where they want to be
