Pridhvi Sunain Zoro’s debut concept album MAHA (Make America Human Again) arrives with a lot on its mind, tracing a journey from societal collapse through the struggle to reclaim humanity and, finally, toward the possibility of ascent. Across its three phases, the Indian-American singer-songwriter and composer tackles economic inequality, consumerism, racial division, gun violence, and the growing difficulty of connecting with one another. Zoro gives them a restless, emotionally charged musical setting.
“Fucking Dance” kicks things off with a hard, post-grunge shove. Storming guitar riffs and steady, pounding drums provide the backbone as Zoro delivers the lyrics with a sharp, charismatic force. There’s an almost rebellious rush to the chorus, built around the idea of dancing through the chaos, but the verses tell a more troubling story. The daily grind, financial pressure, and constant judgment turn partying into an escape hatch rather than a genuine celebration. Beneath all that, you can hear someone struggling to stay afloat in a race that never seems to end.
“Children of the Storm” takes that frustration and turns it into a defiant communal anthem. Blazing guitars, soulful horns, tribal-leaning percussion, and chant-like harmonies give the track an expansive, almost ritualistic quality. The repeated “Oh Liba, Liba” refrain is particularly infectious, bringing a sense of collective strength to lyrics about children growing up amid violence and destruction. The song pushes back against it, with its rallying vocals making resistance feel physical and immediate.
The female-vocal bonus version of “Slash the Ghost” offers a more subdued but equally pointed perspective. Gentle guitar strumming and piano create a softer backdrop for a performance steeped in disappointment and emotional distance. Its lyrics confront ghosting, silence, and a dating culture where people become disposable objects in an endless search for something better. The female voice brings a vulnerable appeal for honest conversation so it feels more like a plea for mutual understanding.
Written, produced, and directed by Zoro, MAHA is a call to look beyond the machinery of money, status, and endless choice and rediscover the humanity that gets lost along the way. Listen to the album in Dolby here.
