Making Aa Sama Le: the team and the studio

Aa Sama Le is the newest song I have released, and it is the one where I can point at the most hands other than mine.

When love becomes a prayer, every heartbeat whispers only one name. That line is how I described the song when it went up, and it is still the shortest true thing I can say about it. It is a story of yearning, devotion and unconditional love — a song for every heart that has ever waited, hoped, and loved beyond limits.

Here is who made it. The music was composed and produced by Protijyoti Ghosh, a Mumbai-based film composer and music producer who has worked on the music of Andhadhun, Ram Setu, Bawaal, Bell Bottom and Dry Day. The lyrics are by Prem Nikaju, a lyricist and scriptwriter who wrote songs for the film Joon and co-wrote 'Rangrasiya', sung by Rekha Bhardwaj. The electric and acoustic guitars you hear are played by Amborish Saikia, Guwahati-born, lead guitarist for Palash Sen's Euphoria and a session player for KK and Papon, whose film work includes Ram Setu. Sumit Nandi handled the mixing and mastering. And all the instruments were recorded and produced at Projekt Pantomath Studio in Andheri West, Mumbai.

Aa Sama Le is on Spotify, Apple Music, JioSaavn, YouTube Music and Gaana.
