Toronto, ON (April 7/2013)
A few months ago, winner of Canada’s Desi Idol competition Vikas Khanna released a cover song “Ae Gulbadan” as a tribute to the great Indian singer Mohd Rafi. As the song sails on its 26000+ mark on YouTube, he now brings to you his brand new single - Gulbadan garbed in a brilliant & an extremely engaging music video shot in and around the beautiful locales of Toronto.
With its dreamy lyrics and soulful composition, a listener can’t help but notice its unique,simple & urbanized sound that grips the audience from all ages and backgrounds. Pravin Mani, a long-term associate of Oscar & Grammy winner A.R Rehman carefully executed the song’s post production through his unparalleled expertise in audio engineering. When questioned about choosing “Gulbadan” as the title, Vikas responds - “Being a music-lover of all genres, I possess a deep respect for the songs and compositions that were created back in the 60’s in the Hindi music industry. And during the making of “Ae Gulbadan”, I got thoroughly inspired by its brilliant poetry and knew in my heart that I had to write a song which projects a vintage lyrical feel but is orchestrated in an R&B/Pop style arrangement. And what better way to embellish an ultra romantic melody by giving a title of “Gulbadan” which means “Body of roses”.
The song has now been released worldwide and available on iTunes, Amazon and Spotify.
