Esha Tewari - wraith EP (2025) Hi-Res

The teen indie-folk songwriter lets us in on her emotional turmoil. “waltz” joins recent singles “million times”, “empty pages”, “things i want” and “you were mine”, which previews wraith as she continues the evolution of her acoustic leaning indie-folk sound.

Esha Tewari's 'empty pages', the latest glimpse into her forthcoming EP 'wraith', is a masterclass in heart-on-sleeve songwriting. It's a track that invites you into the quiet corners of her emotional landscape, where regret and the lingering echoes of lost connections reside. The line, "But I run the risk of losing breath on empty pages," encapsulates the song's central theme: the painful realisation of pouring oneself into a relationship that ultimately fades.

Tewari's vocal delivery is both delicate and powerful, carrying the weight of her lyrics with a raw honesty that resonates deeply. She shares that the song is "for anyone that loses someone they love and the regret and guilt that is carried after that," and this sentiment permeates every note. There's a tangible sense of vulnerability, a willingness to expose the raw edges of her experience, that makes "empty pages" so compelling.

The track subtly nods to Jeff Buckley, a clear influence, with Tewari noting, "I pay homage to one of my favourite Jeff Buckley songs in this one, I hope people hear the little easter egg!" This subtle homage adds another layer of depth, hinting at the musical inspirations that shape her sound.
