An affecting track from Texas-based singer, guitarist, and poet Shweta Harve, “Why So Busy?” consumes in its illuminated drive — featuring glistening keys and organs — to various compelling vocal layers. Harve once again collaborates with Italian music composer Dario Cei; the duo made waves with their debut single “Who Are You?” and now continue to succeed with “Why So Busy?”
The track is a poignant, modern take on a chaotic and demanding world — prompting behaviors like being distracted by technology, and becoming overwhelmbed by the burdensome expectations of corporate life. Cei’s effervescent piano glides seamlessly amidst Harve’s alluring vocals, resonating in both moments of acoustic-set lushness and the more enthused title-referencing refrains. “Why So Busy?” thoroughly succeeds in its melodic array and overall message, emphasizing how a life that’s too busy can lead to missing wonderful opportunities and personal connections.
