Badshah, Divine, Mikey McCleary give ‘desi’ touch to ‘Red Notice’

Published

on

Musicians Badshah, Divine, Jonita Gandhi and Mikey McCleary have collaborated with Universal Music India for a celebratory song titled ‘Bachke Rehna Re Baba’ for the upcoming action-packed Netflix film ‘Red Notice’.

Rapper Badshah said: “The song ‘Bachke Rehna Re Baba’, the R.D. Burman classic, is a perfect song for the hustle of the streets. I am excited to finally see a Divine X Badshah collaboration coming through. I think it’s a defining moment for the current music scene as well. And Jonita is just the icing on the cake.”

Badshah feels ‘Bachke Rehna Re Baba’ acompliments the vibe of the film – fast paced and full of energy.

He added: “We had a great time remaking the song, giving it a modern desi bop vibe, and then shooting it. We took a month to finish the entire song, from the brief to creating the mix and then the master.

“Divine is incredibly talented and I am glad to get this opportunity to work with him. We jammed with each other and with Jonita and Mikey on a couple of sessions to get the feel of the song right. Cannot wait to share it with the audience and for Red Notice to drop on Netflix soon.”

The song is a groovy new take on the iconic Hindi Song ‘Bachke Rehna Re Baba’ highlighting the action and adventure packed hunt for Cleopatra’s golden eggs which is at the core of the film.

This is the first time that Badshah and Divine have come together to create music, and have been supported by the charm of Jonita Gandhi and the musical brilliance of Mikey McCleary.

Rapper and songwriter Divine said: “The original is a classic and adapting it to this new age version was a cool experience. Shooting it was another amazing experience as we took some interesting elements from the film and gave it a uniquely Indian twist. Hope the fans love it as much as we did creating it.”

Inspired by the film, the video of the song showcases a thrilling heist and an intense chase for the golden eggs across various locations.

The video, directed by Reema Maya, captures the essence of the film and India perfectly through the action packed video. Just like the video, the artists had an adventure creating the song as they were actually in three different places when the song was made.

It was produced out of New York by Mikey McCleary while the singers were in Chandigarh, Goa and Mumbai.

“It is always a challenge to do justice to classics, and so singing the iconic hook line ‘Bachke Rehna Re Baba’ with added sass and attitude was a challenge that I was excited to tackle. I hope people enjoy our rendition! Of course, having the support of the powerhouses that are my co artists on this one helped immensely,” says singer Jonita Gandhi.

Adding to that, composer, music producer and artist, Mikey McCleary, said: “Our rendition of ‘Bachke Rehna Re Baba’ for Netflix’s ‘Red Notice’ with Divine and Badshah is a combination of a timeless classic song and an original contemporary edgy rap track.

“I composed and produced the track remotely from New York with the artists recording from various locations in India. My aim was to create an exciting, cool and adrenaline-filled track which connects with the theme of the film, ‘Red Notice’. Everyone has done a great job and it’s turned out terrifically.”

Published

on

Mumbai : Rapper and musician Yung DSA opened up about his childhood. He recalled a difficult phase when financial problems would often lead to fights between his parents and how those experiences made him accustomed to living away from his family.

During a conversation inside the Bigg Boss season 20 house, Yung DSA was asked by Arishfa Kham as to whom he was missing the most at the moment. While he mentioned his close friend Samiksha, he said that being away from his parents was something he had become used to from a young age.

“I mean, I am used to staying away from parents, to be honest. When I was a kid, my mom used to go to Solapur. My grandparents used to live there, so we used to go there to get things,” he recalled.

He then opened up about the financial difficulties his family faced during his childhood and how they affected his parents’ relationship.

“My parents used to fight a lot because of financial issues. So, my dad and mom used to work and my brother and I used to live alone. So, I am used to it,” Yung DSA said.

He said that frequent travel and work-related commitments later further accustomed him to staying away from home.

“I used to travel a lot. So, I have moved away and stayed away from home a lot,” he added.

Despite spending considerable time away from his family, Yung DSA stressed that the distance has not affected their bond. “My family and I are very much connected. But I’m used to living without them,” he said.

The rapper during the family messages task inside the Bigg Boss house was seen getting extremely emotional upon listening to his mother, father and brother’s voice.

Mumbai : Singer Qazi Touqeer opened up about his bond with fellow singer Arijit Singh.

He described the latter as a private person who, despite his reserved nature, shares a similar sense of craziness with him.

Talking about Arijit to Arishfa Khan and Uditi Singh in Bigg Boss Season 20, Qazi said the singer has a different level of madness and is someone who keeps pushing himself to explore more.

“When Arijit and I sit together, Arijit has pain in the stomach laughing. My level is different from his. He also does crazy things. He is the father of crazy things. But he is a private person. He only opens up with his close people. He is like me,” Qazi said.

Qazi went on to describe how Arijit’s curiosity and creative approach continue to push him further. “He keeps increasing his level of craziness. He digs the well so much. He finds the fun part, digs in more. But that’s how it should be,” he said.

Praising Arijit’s personality, Qazi added, “He is crazy. He is beautiful. It should not end. He is amazing. He is a champ. He has the attitude of a champion.”

Drawing a parallel between himself and Arijit, Qazi said the two share a similar personality despite their different levels of expression. “But we both are the same. He and me, we both are the same,” he said.

For the uninitiated, Qazi and Arijit have both carved their own spaces in the Indian music industry, with Qazi gaining popularity after winning the first season of the singing reality show Fame Gurukul. Arijit went on to become one of the most prominent playback singers of contemporary Hindi cinema.

After Qazi entered Bigg Boss 20, Arijit took to his private X account to cheer for his former Fame Gurukul co-contestant, writing, “I will have to watch Bigg Boss for the first time because apna rockstar Qazi hai udhar.”
