Sun Kin unveils tender new psych-pop single “Honey, I’m Whole”

Kumar shares, “This song is about wishing that someone you’ve loved forever could meet someone you just fell in love with. I thought that I’d always be able to send my Nani an email, asking for her shami kebab recipe. To visit her, every precious couple of years, and stand eagerly over her shoulder sniffing the bubbling rajma.

I wish I could hear it from her lips, how early in the morning you need to wake up to simmer a love worth remembering.”
