Contradictory as it were, as the raging pandemic painted a gruesome picture of death across the globe, artistes who were locked within the confines of their homes leveraged the period of lull to create breathtaking artwork. Contradictions, says Sheykhar Ravjiani, also establishes the theme of his latest track, Rang, his first solo Hindi pop song that was brought to life when life came to a standstill.
“The song is in Brij Bhasha, a language that is deeply rooted in the Indian ethos. When juxtaposed with a Latin-European music flavour, a musical universe of its own is created. It is unique, yet familiar; Indian, yet international. For me, the contradictions complemented each other beautifully, and made this song special. The lyrics are written from a girl’s perspective. She expresses her love for a man who seems to have his heart set on another girl. The words echo her longing and angst. I thought it would be another interesting contradiction if the man sings the words that she hopes he will hear, some day. The music and lyrics together create a range of emotions that I always knew this song would evoke.”
