Amid the spate of remixes of ’90s ditties that have flooded the music industry in the last few years, only a handful have been created with such prowess that they can make a listener skip a heartbeat. Serving as true tributes to the original chartbusters, these recreations diligently amalgamate the beauty of the classics with contemporary demands. For this writer, Mithoon Sharma’s version of the Gadar number, Udd ja kaale kawa, is one such offering. Over two decades after the release of the original, enhanced music production techniques appear to have given Udit Narayan’s vocals a new lease of life in this ballad-like rendition.
“I don’t think I would be able to imagine this song without him. He is part of the song’s genesis. The way he has maintained himself and his vocal quality is commendable; he sounds so good even today, at the age of 67. He sang each line again for this version. People have connected with the [song] and his voice,” says Sharma, who, despite being vocal about his opposition to recreations, agreed to work on this one because “cinematically, there was a [valid] reason to recreate it”.
