During the COVID pandemic, most people suffered due to the isolation and anxiety caused by the spread of the virus. The main goal of Music Balm was to address the mental health of the audience during this difficult time. Lenovo and BrandMusiq together created a series of compositions, using the science of Navarasas (the nine fundamental human emotions), to counteract negative emotions and to provide a moment of peace and positivity. Various musicologists and music therapists were also consulted in order to help them create the tracks that would stimulate the brain and trigger the release of dopamine, making listeners feel soothed.
