What gives Meet Bros' latest song Nit Din Jiyan Maran a unique quality is the diversity of the participating artists - a Bangladeshi singer sings in Punjabi, a music director duo from Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh provides the score, and a US-based Bollywood star adds dazzling visuals.
"This the first time we (Meet Bros) opted for an international collaboration of this sort. The USP of Nit Din Jiyan Maran is that it's a Punjabi song but sung by a Bengali singer. Bangladeshi superstar Taposh can hardly speak Punjabi or Hindi, but it's his dedication and hard work that helped him ace the track," said Harmeet Singh, one half of the Meet Bros duo.
"Taposh happened to be in Mumbai on a business trip. He dropped by our studio and told us that he was interested in doing a single with us. So we thought, why not come up with a unique composition? Let's make him sing a Punjabi song in typical Bollywood style. Taposh jumped on the idea but suggested we should feature a well-known face in the music video. We decided to get Nargis Fakhri on board to add the oomph factor to the video. On Taposh's insistence, both of us (Meet Bros) also feature in the music video," he added.
Harmeet's composing partner Manmeet is in awe of Taposh's work ethics. "He is very hardworking and focused. He kept on practising the track till he perfected the Punjabi accent and it wasn't difficult to teach him (the Punjabi lyrics) because he's a very passionate artiste and that helped us record the track faster than any non-Punjabi speaking Indian singer would have done."
Talking further about the song, Harmeet said that Nit Din Jiyan Maran is a romantic track with a beautiful melody. "It's about undying love and the sweet pain of living for it. We wanted to create a simple but catchy melody that would appeal to everyone. Kumaar has penned heart-warming lyrics. The music has a Sufi feel and Taposh's voice elevates this song to a very high level."
"Our song aims to cheer up people's amidst the Covid-19 pandemic. Through our music we want to heal people in whichever way we can," said Harmeet.
