Suneeta Rao pledges support to climate with single ‘Vaada Karo’
The Hindu
The songwriter, singer and stage performer teams up with Dharavi Rocks and composer Dhruv Ghanekar in her comeback video
Though cloaked in the exotic, Suneeta Rao’s songs have always had an underlying message. The pop diva of the 1990s who shot to fame with her Hindi single ‘Paree hoon main’, returns with ‘Vaada Karo’, a Hungama Artist Aloud presentation. Written by Suneeta, the song is a pledge to save the environment from global warming and climate change. A couple of hours after the song was released on May 20, 2021, Suneeta, speaking over the phone from Mumbai, says she wrote the song 11 years ago when she was pregnant with her daughter Maya. Alarmed at the worsening environment situation, Suneeta penned her fears and thoughts into a song and when Planet Alert, an organisation that initiates eco-consciousness, requested her for a theme song, she recorded ‘Vaada Karo’.
