I am sure someone is watching over me that I have got these amazing opportunities to work for Rahman Sir.” Says Shashwat Singh, as his new song Ruby Ruby from the movie Sanju has unveiled.
The song has retro feel and while the premises of the song could be for a girl, the situation the song is not isn’t clear. “That I can’t tell. Anyway the movie is just three days away from release. The lyrics by Irshad Kamil are amazing and as usual the composition is too good. I think they made four drafts of the song and finally this one was zeroed down.”
The singer has sung with all top line composers of Hindi Music industry and thinks all of them have their strengths, “Pritam da is too amazing. I have never seen anyone being that efficient. I have sung for AMit Trivedi’s live shows too. His ways of functioning is very unique. It has been a great experience.”
