Tulsi Kumar is on a career-high as the artist has been consistently delivering back-to-back hits and giving her fans much to look forward to, during this challenging lockdown period. Acing the Pop music space in 2020 with recent collaborations like ‘Tere Naal’, ‘Zara Thehro’ and ‘Naam’ which have garnered a lot of love from audiences. The popular singer now presents her new single ‘Tanhaai’, a song very close to her heart that falls under the pop-rock genre. T-Series and composer duo Sachet-Parampara, who introduced the rock ballad songs to the industry with ‘Bekhayali’ in ‘Kabir Singh’, bring another intense song ‘Tanhaai’ in the same genre with lyrics by Sayeed Quadri.
This rock ballad that took four months to create treats audiences to a new side of Tulsi Kumar’s personality. Raw, real, and filled with emotions, the music video featuring Tulsi and Zain Imam is directed by Sneha Shetty Kohli. The fans will see Tulsi growing as an artist and a performer showing an array of emotions from happy to sad and intense. The singer herself conceptualised the video and hence could relate to the character and drew emotions from her experiences as an artist. She indeed went through a prep session and attended workshops to be true to her character in the song. So apart from stellar vocals, audiences can expect a power-packed performance from Tulsi as a performer.
‘Tanhaai’ is extremely close to Tulsi’s heart as it relates to almost every situation in our lives, as we all go through problems at different stages and might feel lonely at a given point but even at our lowest we have to stay strong and positive as life is the best teacher and each moment is an opportunity.
Talking about the song, Tulsi says, “Independent music gives an artist creative freedom to define oneself. I wanted to do a single which was in a very different and unique space, something soulful with touching lyrics but at the same time having a pop-rock vibe to it and relatable with today’s youth. Sachet-Parampara understood my vision and managed to make that happen with ‘Tanhaai’. They both are extremely talented and our energy and vibe really matched so it was a great experience working on this song with them as a team.” She adds, “When you sing for a film you sing for a character but here in the independent music space, you are the character and you also have the freedom as an artist to be creative, in how and what you want to express through your music. From the time I decided to do this single, I had a thought process in my mind and visualisation of the video. So right from its making, conceptualising to the actual filming, I was personally involved in every aspect along with my director Sneha Shetty Kohli which is why ‘Tanhaai’ is extremely close to my heart.”
Bringing another intense song after ‘Bekhayali’, T-Series’ Bhushan Kumar says, “The rock ballad genre is still very new and fresh in the Indian music scene and ‘Tanhaai’ will definitely make the genre more popular. The entire team have brought ‘Tanhaai’ to life with their hard work and passion.”
