The song ‘Chalo Na’, composed and sung by Gowri Bhat, is the latest addition to KaanPhod’s series Mic Test
In the past few years, a myriad of young and independent artists have raised the bar of Indie music in the country.
Viacom18’s latest launch KaanPhod is an artist-first label which is set to introduce new talents; the song ‘Chalo Na’ composed and sung by Gowri Bhat, is the latest addition to KaanPhod’s series Mic Test.
The Bangalore-based artist is a newcomer in the field of Indie music, but has plans to make it big in the business.
You have a new song ‘Chalo Na’ which is out. Take us through the process behind this track?
This song is in collaboration with Viacom18’s KaanPhod and it was a very different yet exciting experience for me.
The song is in Hindi and I am not a native Hindi speaker; the lyrics were provided by Viacom18. I composed the song and recorded it. When I read the lyrics, I felt its vibe to be very Indie, something very mellow, and those are the emotions that I have tried to bring out in the song.
The team gave me complete creative control over the way I wished to present the lyrics that were given to me. As an artist, this creative freedom is very important.
