Swara Modi Spills Her Heart on “bittersweet” — and It’s Beautifully Unfiltered

Every now and then, an artist comes along who makes you stop mid-scroll and feel something. That’s exactly what 19-year-old Swara Modi does with her latest track, “bittersweet.”

The Pittstown, NJ native may be young, but she’s already building a body of work that hits deep—and bittersweet might just be her most honest release yet. With soft, vulnerable vocals that float over an intimate, well-woven instrumental, Swara isn’t just singing—she’s confiding. There’s a raw sincerity here that doesn’t try to hide behind metaphor or gloss. It’s real. It’s relatable. It hurts a little in the best way.

The song feels like flipping through a diary you’re not supposed to read, except Swara’s invited us in on purpose. It’s delicate without being passive, bold without shouting. The production wraps around her voice like a hug—guitar, subtle keys, maybe even a little echo of heartbreak—and the result is a track that feels lived-in and true.

A student at Berklee College of Music, Swara is studying music business, production, and songwriting—but let’s be honest, she’s already putting on a masterclass in all three. She writes her own songs (yes, all of them), and she’s even started producing them herself. Multi-instrumentalist? Check. Visionary artist in the making? Also check.

“bittersweet” doesn’t just showcase Swara’s talent—it highlights her ability to connect. It’s a quiet triumph, and if this is where she’s at now, we can only imagine what’s next.

Turn it up, let it sink in, and get ready to feel everything.
