Vasuda Sharma has been switching between Hindi and English since her 2013 debut Attuned Spirits—far before it was fashionable for indie singer-songwriters to release tunes in both languages. On Ukustic Tales, she shifts gears again, presenting bare-bones versions of some of her most popular songs on just a ukulele. The tracks span from the whimsical “Cruel World” and “Never Lose Heart” to the pandemic-inspired “Bas Thodi Der Aur”. Her thoughtful, comforting ballads play like salves for hard days.
