‘Sajanava’ is a string-laden affair based on Pt Ajoy Chakrabarty’s thumri — a semi-classical song form associated with kathak, the North Indian dance style — and the only track on Jasdeep Singh Degun‘s album Anomaly to feature classical (dual female) vocals. ‘Sajanava’ is the third track to be lifted from the album.
