Two platinum singles, a diamond single and prestigious NRJ award winner French producer/DJ Federhas launched his new single Meghna via Warner Music. A recreation of the cult classic Ae Ajanabi by multiple Grammy and Oscar winning music composer A.R.Rahman, the track imbues a fresh stance while playing up the song's natural features with the groovy rhythmic instrumentation.
From the original soundtrack of Mani Ratnam’s Dil Se, ‘AeAjanabi’ is penned by Gulzar and is performed by Udit Narayan and MahalaxmiIyer. A song much loved by many is still recognized as one of the most evocative music of all time.
Feder discovered this song through a remix and instantly liked the original composition; he felt that he could create a new version of it. Basking in the nostalgia, this new creation ‘Meghna’ renders an electro vibe yet retaining its soulful and haunting melody. Paying an ode to the original, the track also borrows its title from the lead character of the film.
A Spotify Spotlight Artist for 2016 in his native France, Feder’s previous hit singles ‘Blind’ and ‘Goodbye’ have collectively amassed over 105 million streams and 700,000 downloads gaining him a #1 spot in several countries.
