Shaan collaborates with international rapper Delsol for his latest release
The Hindu
Titled ‘Bom Billi’, the dancehall track has four different versions
For Shaan, the recent past has been about embracing the new. And perhaps that is why he wants his audience to expect something they didn’t. “I have been trying to explore different styles in not just singing but also composing and enjoying the various genres,” says Shaan over a call from Mumbai. And the proof for that lie in his latest releases ‘Rang Le’ and ‘Bom Billi’, each dramatically different from the other.
‘Bom Billi’ that released today (February 1) is an international collaboration with American rapper Delsol. Stating that he is “doing an international collaboration after almost 12 years,” Shaan adds, “My previous ones were with (English boy band) Blue, (Danish pop rock band) Michael Learns To Rock, and (Moroccan singer) Samira Said.” This dancehall track has four different versions: (Desi rappers paradise, Reggaeton, Latin and Delhi Rappers Paradise), along with different videos. The phrase Bom Billi is gibberish, he says, but works well as the hook in the song.
