Manpreet Kundi makes a graceful return with unresolved (deluxe), an expansion of her 2024 debut EP that deepens the emotional terrain she first mapped out with poise and vulnerability. Where the original project established her as a rising voice in the folk-pop and indie-pop space, the deluxe edition adds new layers of intimacy, most notably through her latest track closure.
Self-penned like the rest of the EP, closure arrives as the wistful finale — a piano-led ballad that feels like both an epilogue and a final bow. Inspired by a poignant Friends moment, the song imagines the delicate ache of a “last dance” shared when words have run out, bringing the narrative of unresolved to a quiet but emotionally charged conclusion. Kundi’s delivery, cinematic yet deeply personal, lingers long after the final note, evoking her trademark blend of dreamy textures and grounded storytelling.
The deluxe edition also strips away the polish of earlier highlights, offering fans raw, vulnerable takes with a live recording of the title track unresolved and an acoustic version of something. Both renditions reveal the bones of her songwriting, where her piano and voice hold the spotlight in their purest, most affecting forms.
Kundi’s artistry thrives on this balance — acoustic roots intertwined with lush, cinematic production. Drawing comparisons to Lana Del Rey, Lizzy McAlpine, and Lennon Stella, her sound channels intimacy into widescreen atmospherics.
Unresolved (deluxe) doesn’t just revisit her debut — it enriches it, offering closure while pointing toward new beginnings.
