New York based Indian Singer-Songwriter Atif Afzal single titled 'Chalti Hai Zindagi'

 

Singer-songwriter Atif Afzal introduces us to a mellow Hindi track called 'Chalti Hai Zindagi'. This is the first time ever that a song has been Thought, Written, Composed, Produced, Sung and Released in just a week's time.

 

On a recent cold night in New York while walking in between an unnatural snowfall a few days back, Atif was struck with this beautiful tune he rushed home and wrote and developed it ahead, which turned out to be 'Chalti Hai Zindagi'. This song has the capacity to grow on you as you keep listening to it. This is the beginning of a series of other releases lined up for Atif in 2021.

 

The song talks about the journey of life and reflects his own naive experiences as a young musician with dreams. The highlight of the song is 'life is in love with me' and it comes from a thought that if you love your life, life would love you back the same way.

 

Atif Afzal Says, "Every song I compose and sing reflects me. I am never performing the song, I am the song! This song is as simple as it can get, and the reason why I kept it simple is because life should be dealt with the same way. Although I am in the showbiz, I keep my life and lifestyle quite simple. That helps me write songs that are true to myself and the world can relate to"

The emerging artiste accredits his success to Lord Shiva and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, as the latter contributed to making Gosswami a star overnight.

Sharing his excitement of becoming immensely popular in the blink of an eye, Sundeep says, “When the PM shared this video, I had no idea that something of this sort has happened.

Amaal Mallik's pop debut Tu Mera Nahi hits the music scene

Presented under Sony Music India, Amaal Mallik's debut pop single, Tu Mera Nahi releases today amid enormous hype with celebrities and artists rooting for the young virtuoso. Action star Tiger Shroff, Suniel Shetty, melody queen, Shreya Ghoshal,  Sunidhi Chauhan, Honey Singh, Rochak Kohli, music composer, Shekhar Ravjiani, Prakriti Kakkar and Sukriti Kakkar, along with the army of Amaalians had been awaiting  Mallik's first independent song that hits the Indian music scene today with much celebration.

 

To offer this fresh single in a super special manner, Amaal surprised viewers and listeners as he appeared live on YouTube before the song's official release. Through the YouTube premiere, the music composer-songwriter-singer who's known to have an inexplicable connect with young listeners interacted with them. Celebrating independent music, Mallik introduced the song with fanfare befitting its anticipation.

 

The ultimate heartbreak song of the year has been composed and rendered by Amaal, penned by Rashmi Virag and features Mallik and internet sensation, Aditi Budhathoki. Given Mallik's incredible credentials as a musician and his contribution to music for cinema, the song is touted to win over listeners and stand out in the modern Indian pop genre.

 

Amaal says, “I have always made music with passion, love & honesty. With Tu Mera Nahi, I tried to pack the choicest elements musically and visually including the arid beauty of Dubai that favourably underlines the feeling of desertion in the song, the creativity of live musicians and Virag sir’s spot-on lyrics. I'm grateful for the love Tu Mera Nahi has been getting before its release and now that it's released to the listeners, I'm hopeful that the love will grow tenfold. A big up to Sony Music to trying new things, pushing the audio out before the video is not something an artist tries unless the song is associated with a big film and a big campaign. We are confident about the soul & cinematic experience the song has and it’s already winning hearts everywhere... I can see vocal covers, instrumental covers and dance covers! I wish every Amaalian the same thrill I'm experiencing right now.” 

 

Presented by Sony Music India, composed and sung by Amaal Mallik, starring him and Aditi Budhathoki and written by Rashmi Virag, Tu Mera Nahi is now available on all streaming platforms.
