Gourov Dasgupta | The music composer, who has worked predominantly in Bollywood for popular films like Cash 2021 and Enemmy, speaks with SUPRIYA RAMESH about his latest songs, his experience, upcoming projects among other things
You have three releases back to back. How excited are you?
Three releases back to back is a lot of pressure and lot of excitement. Buhe Bariyan is a folk song but it's been rendered and recreated beautifully along with Shruti Rane, who co-composed with me. It is written by Kunwar Juneja. Song Dynamite is very close to my heart for a long time now, it was supposed to go for a film but I just felt that this song needs to be out in a big way because it's the biggest club track that I have ever made.
I couldnt be more grateful to Vinod Bhanushali and Hitz music for putting the song out with Dhvani Bhanushali and giving me a chance. They shot an amazing video for it. I am super excited for this one. Another song Tutt Gaya, is also very close to me is a ballet which is my personal favourite.
It’s beautifully written by Kunwar Juneja and is sung by Stebin Ben. This was also supposed to go for a film, but am glad that it is coming out as a single.
I am very excited to showcase different sides of me. As a composer, it’s a huge opportunity to show my versitality.
Tell us something about Dynamite and Tutt Gaya.
Dynamite is definitely a bomb of a song. I am more of a ballet person and I don't really make too many club songs. Howbeit, this is one of my special songs, which I knew would change a lot of things around when it comes out. This is a song which has been close to me for many years now. When I played it for Vinod Bhanushali for the first time, he fell in love with it and promised me that he will do something massive with it. I just had that faith in him, and voila!
It's an amazing video and I am super excited it's coming out on Hitz music. Probably my biggest club track ever and one of the biggest chartbuster this year. Tutt Gaya is kind of a similar story. I held on to this song for long time, lot of people wanted the song, this was also supposed to be a part of the film, but again something told me to hold on and give it to the right people and iIam glad Saregama is putting it out. They are the best label to work with. Sung by Stebin Ben, written by Kunwar Juneja and beautifully shot by Aditya Dutt, it is very close to my heart and it's a lovely ballet.
How was it working with Dhvani Bhanushali and Kanika Kapoor?
Dhavani is very hard working and talented. She has done an amazing job in Dynamite, It looked like the universe is waiting for her to sing it and it just came in together. I am very proud of her. Kanika, is of course, a veteran. We have worked closely before and she is no less. She has done a magic in Buhe Bariyan.
What genre of music do you enjoy composing?
Personally, I am more of a ballet kind of a guy. I love making love songs, ballets and I think I am pretty good at it. My last year releases like tere do naina, sayonee and even film stuff like anjugam, Ishq namaza, humdum are my comfort zone. Once in a while like throwing a bomb like
What are your upcoming projects?
I am working on new songs.The idea is to work on new, interesting sound and have a couple of amazing writers working with me. I have an amazing team of musicians who support what I do and that's the reason why I am blessed and the whole idea is to change thesound skill. There are a few uming projects but I can't talk about it right now. Most of them are releasing in the end of the year and next year.
