Lucknow mates Anand Tripathi and Amit Mishra come up with a new single

Music composer Anand Tripathi and Bulleya singer Amit Mishra have teamed up for a new single, ‘Tera Dewaana’. The song is in contemporary classical and Sufism space. This is not the first time that Anand and Amit have collaborated for a song. They have earlier worked on ‘Rudrashtakam’, a devotional song.

“We are friends for more than 15 years. I met Anand when he was in Bhatkhande and we used to often jam during singing competitions. He was my senior and we had mutual respect and love for each other. Working with Anand on this song has been a great experience. In terms of singing, I tried more of sufi and folk vocals. The song has some very good elements. The music arrangement is very western and also has Indian percussion. This makes the song unique in terms of progression and programming,” says Amit.

Sharing how the song happened, Anand says, “Amit and I go back a long time. We both belong to Lucknow. It was one of those days at the studio, where we were on a break and I was humming something. Amit suggested to give it a shot and he wrote the lyrics. I really liked what he wrote and then the composition happened. We sent it to Anurag Bedi and Zee Music approved it. This is how Tera Dewaana happened. It’s a contemporary classical with Sufi feel. You will find so many emotions in one track — romance, passion and aggression. Listeners across all age groups can enjoy the song. In fact, the live performers will have a gala time singing this track.”
