Talking about his latest devotional mix, Abhijeet Ghoshal says, ‘Clubmix Hanuman Chalisa
The singer, while speaking to Free Press Journal, spoke about his latest religious song ‘Clubmix Hanuman Chalisa’ and shared that he felt people needed something like this. He said during the interview: “These days, in almost every interview and among most young people, there is a demand for club mixes.
Everyone wants a mixtape, even for devotional songs. So, I felt like our more traditional bhajans already had everything they needed for a club mix.
Be it Igiri Nandini, Shiv Tandav Stotram, Hanuman Chalisa, Hanuman Ashtak (Bali Samay Ravi Bhakshi Leo). These are the best collections of songs that were actually written thousands of years ago.The song has a completely new style as it mixes religious melodies and melodies dating back thousands of years with rap and club music.
The singer also added that although this was a big challenge for him, he is glad he went through it. “Creating something different from what we grew up listening to was a challenge, and I am very grateful to Lord Hanuman for making me able to do it,” he joked.
Abhijit Ghoshal says his club mix is just as interesting as… BTS or Blackpink music
Ghoshal even compared his latest religious song to songs like “Batameeez Dil”, along with several K-Pop songs like BTS and BLACKPINK. Talking about rap music, he added, “You will realize that even though it is rap music, this particular rap also has a lot of meaning. At the same time, it is very difficult to take breaks while singing it. As you gradually develop your skills, you will realize that it is as interesting as Badtameez Dil, as interesting as Saari Night Besharmi Ki Height, as interesting as BTS or Blackpink’s rap songs.”
To be honest, our Hanuman Chalisa Club mix is more interesting than all of them.
