Unfamiliar feelings, one of the creations of Not – funny, well behind the creation of this song they have a story. The song is a result of a random evening and some jamming and chilling session of the boys. After coming out as a band, the boys decided to live together to give more focus and time to their music. The song comes out all of a sudden and as expected it was another successful creation of the band. This song represents the first love and also the band’s first love song. Also, the band has mentioned that they also want to work in Hindi to reach the expectations of their fans around the world. They are very much lucky that they have a loyal and strong fanbase who are supporting them from the beginning and wishing them the very best to reach all the love, reputation, and recognition.
Despite their struggles to be honored and practicing music from a small place like Ukhrul is always been a part of their challenge. Drawbacks like lack of advertising and marketing opportunities are impacting them with publicity and getting noticed. As a result, brand-building remains one of the biggest challenges.
