“Gupon” is has an upbeat jazz funk tone, layered with crunchy leads and solo by Siddhart Borooah, grooves by Riu Xing, and funky bass lines by Amitabh Borooah. While the lyrically the song is about finding your identity and having a conversation with your conscience. The composition is impressive and has a nice ring to it.
Sound, musicality and performance: - The music production is top notch and nicely mixed, music video on the other hand steals the show with amazing acting and Gothic as well as Victorian inspired art direction and undertone.
