The New Year has started with a bang for
Shashaa Tirupati and
Chinmayi
, who have released their Tamil-Hindi single
Yezhundhu Vaa
(
Roothi Hui
in Hindi) recently. Talking about the number, the Vaan Varuvaan singer says, “Yezhundhu Vaa is about repair and growth, about weakness and strength, and about wilting and emergence. It’s not limited to one theme or issue or gender. It’s about speaking up and confronting.”
Shashaa has composed the
song
and written the lyrics of the Hindi version. “It’s a duet, sung by me and Chinmayi. We feature in the video as well, which will be released next week. The point was to cater to our audiences, who speak both Tamil and Hindi, and to spread the message, considering it’s a crucial one,” she adds.
Ask Chinmayi how she came to associate with the song and she says, “Shashaa sent me the work about two-three months ago and asked me what I thought of it. She then asked me if I could sing it for her. She’s pretty serious about writing, arranging and composing, and has done a good job. We recorded the song in the second week of December.”
Shashaa chips in, “Chinmayi was a dream to work with. I’ve idolised her for over a decade and to be able to collaborate on a song with her was absolutely surreal. She was patient, supportive and cooperative and unbelievably easy to work with, no tantrums or air, all for which my respect for her has grown multifold.”
