Mumbai, India - June 20, 2024: Celebrated indie singer-songwriter, Kamakshi Khanna has announced the release of her highly-anticipated sophomore EP titled ‘Heartbreak 2020’. Following the success of her previously released singles from the EP – ‘Love Is Not A Fucking Game’ and ‘I Blew It!’, this new collection marks a significant milestone in her artistic journey, emerging a decade after she put out her debut EP and kickstarted her music career.
‘Heartbreak 2020’ is an exquisite four-track record inspired by ‘The Green Room Sessions’, Kamakshi’s acclaimed lockdown series that offered a raw and intimate glimpse into her creative process.

Sharing her thoughts on the release of her EP, Kamakshi says, “Writing ‘Heartbreak 2020’ was a deeply personal journey for me. The EP is an honest account of the various experiences in my life I came across post my teenage years, charting a path from the anxious jitters of an initial crush in ‘I Blew It!’ to the roaring anger of betrayal in ‘Love Is Not a Fucking Game’, and the bittersweet acceptance in ‘Tourist’. The title track, ‘Heartbreak 2020’, ties the EP together, conveying the understanding that each heartbreak, no matter its magnitude, brings you closer to what’s meant for you. It reflects a hopeful state of mind and a manifestation to find a partner to build the life of your dreams with.”
