DIVINE on Reviving a Classic
Reflecting on reimagining one of Bollywood’s most recognisable tunes, DIVINE shared:
“Sholay shaped so much of our collective memory, and ‘Mehbooba’ is a melody that lives forever. With ‘You & I,’ I wanted to pay tribute to that legacy while giving it a fresh energy that my fans can vibe with.”
Produced by ZZORAWAR, the track fuses RD Burman’s evergreen essence with a new-age sonic identity. DIVINE’s trademark raw-yet-melodic flow forms the backbone of the revamped version, giving it both nostalgia and novelty. – DIVINE Unveils You & I – Sholay Iconic Mehbooba Featuring Kalyani Priyadarshan
