With soothing melodies backing the song accompanied by Akanksha’s serene vocals, the song gives listeners a divine listening experience while they sway along to its rhythms, thinking about their own ‘Pehli Baarish’ moments with their loved ones.
Speaking about releasing the acoustic version, Akanksha says, “‘Pehli Baarish’ is my first ever original that I had released as an independent singer-songwriter in 2020. I never imagined the song would receive so much love by everyone as it has until now. As the love continues to pour in, I thought of gifting all my listeners an acoustic version of the song this monsoon season. While the previous version was produced by the talented duo, Sarthak Nakul, this acoustic version gives you a very cool and happy vibe produced by Manav who is one of my favourite musicians.”

The native of Amritsar and Himachal Pradesh is particularly known for her heartfelt lyrics and soulful vocals and is based in Mumbai to pursue her music career and has released over 25 songs till now with many more to come in the future, as fans hope from her.
