Moonstar by Deepty

The Moonstar album has several strong tracks, but Moonstar is the one most listeners come back to first. The production by Deepty is understated in the best way — supportive without overshadowing the vocal.

Deepty understood what this song required and delivered it without excess — the restraint itself becomes the emotion. The song is tied to a talented ensemble cast, whose presence gives Moonstar a visual dimension that fans of the film will always associate with it.

2022 was a strong year for Haryanvi music, and Moonstar was among the reasons why. Whether it plays on a long drive, during a quiet evening at home, or through earphones on a crowded commute, the song meets the listener where they are.

Running to 2:35, the song is exactly as long as it needs to be, which is the hardest length for a songwriter to find. The staying power of Moonstar is not a mystery. It is just what happens when every element of a song is exactly right.
