Sonu Nigam, the symphonious voice behind numerous songs like 'Sandese Aate Hai' (BORDER), 'Dil Deewana' (PARDES) or the latest KABHI ALVIDA NA KEHNA etc, has innumerable hit songs under his belt. He truly deserves every bit of his hard earned success owing to his noteworthy contribution to the music industry. His new song 'Yeh Rashtra Prem Ki Bhavna' sure sounds like a treat to the ears and is apparently dedicated to the Mumbai blast victims. "I was working on this song much before the unfortunate 7/11 incident happened. This is a patriotic song aimed at connecting to the masses especially the youth today. The song is very different in the sense it's not an album; it's a 'single' only on the Internet without any company involvement. You can have it as a ring tone or a caller tune. It is composed by Deepak Pandit and we mainly want to connect to people through the mobile. It's just like the assemblies or 'prathanas' we used to have in our school days," gushes Sonu.
And what is the main message of the song? "It's very apt for the independence day. It's a patriotic song mainly targeted to youngsters today who are a lot more cool, open and a chilled out. It's got to do with generating awareness about our country. Patriotism is not about 'right' or 'wrong'. It's about our efforts in making our country the best. We want to propagate humanity and freedom through this song." he signs off.
So impressive is the song that MTV, Channel [V], Radio city and Zee have come forward to promote it. Not only that, Radio Mirchi and Times group have given Sonu a standing ovation for it. Sonu is all set to fly to US in sometime for a concert with Talat Aziz.
