The acclaimed composer-producer, OAFF is back with his latest single in collaboration with Adarsh Gourav, the star of the Netflix hit film ‘Kho Gaye Hum Kahan’. Titled ‘Bechaini’, the track explores the feeling of falling in love for the first time, childhood innocence and nostalgia. With OAFF’s electronic-pop production and Adarsh’s emotive voice combined, the track captures a very unique soundscape encouraging introspection.
Drawing from their previous collaboration on the film ‘Kho Gaye Hum Kahan’, wherein OAFF crafted the mesmerizing soundscape, and Adarsh Gourav delivered a stellar performance, this track marks their first musical venture together. The song’s core theme, ‘Bechaini’, unveils underlying emotions, resonating profoundly with those familiar with the weight of nostalgia.
Sharing his thoughts on the release of this track, OAFF expresses, “Adarsh and I first connected during ‘Kho Gaye Hum Kahan’ when I realised that he was deeply into music and an accomplished singer himself. We started chatting about making something together and ‘Bechaini’ happened as a result of discussing our childhood stories. ‘Bechaini’ evokes the feeling of childhood love, and the innocence that comes with it. It’s produced in a very modern electronica way which contrasts the nostalgic flavour of the melody and lyrics. Adarsh is classically trained so he brings a beautiful Indianness in his singing, and I think that juxtaposed with the modern sounding Drum and Bass production really created something exciting for us.”
Talking more about this release, Adarsh Gourav exudes, “Ever since I heard the score and the tracks for ‘Gehraiyaan’, I was a fan of OAFF. I remember writing to him on Instagram around that time period, expressing my desire and as fate would have it, he made my favourite tracks from ‘Kho Gaye Hum Kahan’. We spoke and bonded over our mutual love for progressive rock and bands like Porcupine Tree and Karnivool. I’m so excited for people to listen to ‘Bechaini’ as it is the perfect blend of all the genres that inspire us. We wrote the song over one evening while trading stories from our childhood.”
The track is available for listening across leading streaming platforms. The blend of classical vocals and exquisite penmanship over soothing electronic production ensures that listeners will be hooked to the song from the first note. ‘Bechaini’ is a testament to the creative synergy between OAFF and Adarsh Gourav, promising an experience that transcends a single listen.
