The album, featuring nine tracks, has received widespread acclaim, with Cosmopolitan calling it his “most special creation yet” and ‘Forbes’ describing him as “a celebrated Indian music composer and environmentalist… making music with a message.”
Expressing his gratitude for the recognition, Kej stated, “I am very grateful for this fourth nomination. Thank you for your support and blessings.”
Beyond its musical reception, ‘Break of Dawn’ has garnered praise from Stanford Global Health, USA. “We would like to congratulate Ricky for his latest endeavour in ‘Break of Dawn’ to address the global burden of mental health conditions through India-rooted wellness music,” they said.
