“Write” tells the story of writing songs. To some listeners, it might even sound like a tribute to the art of songwriting.

He isn’t going to play a million jazz chords and obscure modes on his guitar but he will wow you with his songwriting skills. The song has a nice beat and a beautifully engaging rhythm which will carry you from note to note. “Write” flows very smoothly from one part to another, a testament to Dhruv’s great songwriting skills.
Write is a very well written song which has been performed remarkably well by Dhruv. The melody is very pleasing and tuneful. Dhruv’s vocal tone is very rich and warm, and it helps infuse the lyrics with a lot of feeling. The instrumental accompaniment is obviously top notch, and we are not just talking about the guitar here. Every instrumental element of the song adds to the wonderful atmosphere and complements Dhruv’s vocals perfectly. The lyrics are extremely relatable to everyone who has ever done anything creative and you will start humming along to this track soon enough.
