This Janmashtami, Universal Music India is all set to
launch a divine Meera bhajan titled “Mere Toh Giridhar Gopal” sung and composed
by the immensely popular and soulful Kavita Seth. This piece of beautiful music
has been arranged by Debapito Saha with Fateh Ali Khan and Pankaj Nath on the
Sitar and Flute respectively.
The melodious bhajan, which caters to everyone’s
spiritual side, will be releasing worldwide on 22nd August 2016. It delves into
the metaphysical depths and talks about Meera’s devotion for Lord Krishna.
Wandering around affectionately with her Krishna Murti, the bhajan encapsulates
her devotion and love for her soulmate, Krishna. It reflects on the maxim that
no matter which God you pray to, it is the belief in your prayers that allows you
to chase your dreams and spread love and positivity all around.
Says Kavita Seth on the release of the song…“Mere Toh
Giridhar Gopal” is a very famous bhajan of Meera. Whenever I read or sing this song I feel the
same devotion, pain, spirituality, concentration, what Meera went through. In one line I would say it’s a “sampoorna”
song to sing as a devotee”.
Kavita Seth has a unique voice and has always taken keen
interest in the genre of Sufi which she believes to be the purest form of
music. She has beautifully crafted a niche for herself in the genre and aims to
take it to newer heights. Kavita's voice and heart touching compositions have
paved her way into crème-de-la-crème of playback singing with smashing hits
like “Iktara” (from the movie `Wake Up Sid’), “Tum Hi Ho Bandhu” (from the
movie `Cocktail’) to the most recent "Jeete Hain Chal" (from the
movie `Neerja’) amongst many other such successful film playback songs.
Kavita's voice has been appreciated by fans and critics
universally, and over the years has won many awards, including Film Fare Award,
IIFA Award, Stardust Award, Radio Mirchi Award, GIMA Award, Star Screen Awards
and so on. She is an Empanelled Artist at ICCR (Indian Council For Cultural
Relations) of Sufi Music.
Kavita Seth’s “Mere Toh Giridhar Gopal” is available
across all digital platforms exclusively on Universal Music India.
