Priyank Shah has released his new single “What You Want,” a polished pop track that highlights his fully self-contained creative process. Writing, producing, mixing, and mastering the song from his own studio, Shah continues to shape a sound that balances groove and clarity. He describes the track as a literal meeting point between cultures, saying, “Music has always been my way of crossing borders, but with this track, I took that literally. It’s a conversation between cultures blending the universal language of funk-pop with the poetic depth of Mandarin.”
The song blends retro textures with modern pop precision, pulling from 80s and 90s-style drums, funk-driven guitar lines, and warm analogue synths. Sung in both English and Mandarin, “What You Want” approaches love as a shared experience that moves beyond language. Shah adds, “Here’s the truth: I don’t speak a single word of Mandarin. I’m a boy from India living in London. On paper, this collaboration shouldn’t make sense. But when I heard the flow of the Mandarin lyrics, I didn’t need to understand the definitions to understand the feeling. It was just musical.” The result reflects Shah’s interest in connection through sound, without borders or formulas.
