Bubblegum by Ghibran

There is an honesty to Bubblegum that separates it from most Telugu songs released around the same time. Ghibran sets the tone from the very first bar — it is clear from the opening notes that this song means business.

What sets this recording apart is how Ghibran handles the emotional weight — never overplaying, never holding back. Hearing Bubblegum without thinking of Sharwanand, Malvika Nair is almost impossible for anyone who has seen BIKER.

Released in 2026, it arrived at a time when Telugu music needed exactly this kind of sincerity. There is a quality to Bubblegum that makes it feel like company — the kind of song you put on when words feel insufficient.

The 3:11 runtime feels perfectly judged — long enough to develop its ideas, short enough to compel a second play. Songs like Bubblegum are the reason people fall in love with Telugu music and never quite fall out of it.
