Q. How did your single, Bheege Bheege, come about?
A. The album scene in India is not great right now. These days, it is easier to create a single and put it up online for people to buy. The time for cassettes and CDs has passed. The internet is a great medium and reaches an international audience. I have done a lot of songs with Kaushal Inamdar in the past. Kaushal also writes in Hindi. I loved Bheege Bheege the first time he taught it to me, a few years ago. But it didn’t materialise at the time. I always believe that there’s a right time and right place for everything. We wanted to do a heartbreak trilogy. In Bheege Bheege, the mood of the song is that a couple has recently broken up but the girl is hoping for the boy to come back. The truth is that more than love, everyone experiences heartbreak and in such times, music is one’s best friend. I feel, everyone will identify with this. I have worked with artistes like Amir John Haddad from Spain on Bheege Bheege. When I heard the song, I had visualised Amir playing the guitar, so we decided to work with him.
