Raavi Float Back With 'Second Thoughts'—A Meditative Indie-Pop Moment

Raavi are moving at their own pace. The New York indie-pop outfit just dropped "second thoughts," their first single since last year's The Upside EP, and it's a track built for sitting with yourself—at least until the guitars decide otherwise.

Sita's voice is the anchor here, hypnotic and locked in, floating over a production that feels intentional and spacious. The lyrics touch on familiar territory: jealousy, wine, the kind of late-night thoughts that don't make sense in daylight. But there's something meditative about how she lets it breathe before the track kicks into gear—those guitars building into something closer to a storm.

Director Nara Avakian's visual interpretation is on deck if you want the full picture. This feels like the opening move for something bigger coming down the line, not just a random drop. Raavi's got the patience to let a song sit in its feelings before it explodes. That's a skill a lot of bands have forgotten.
