Pritam And Thomson Andrews Reunite For ‘Rangiyara’ After ‘Cocktail 2’

MUMBAI-Singer and composer Thomson Andrews has reunited with music composer Pritam for ‘Rangiyara’, a track from Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan-starrer ‘Haiwaan’, directed by filmmaker Priyadarshan.

Andrews said he particularly values the trust Pritam places in the artists he works with and the creative freedom he gives them to experiment and bring something of their own to the music.

“Working with Pritam da is always an amazing experience. What I truly value about him is the trust he places in the artists he works with and the creative freedom he gives me as an artist within the film music framework, which is truly valuable. He gives you the confidence to explore, experiment and bring something of your own to the music,” Andrews said.

He also credited Pritam with bringing him on board ‘Haiwaan’, giving him the opportunity to work with Priyadarshan.

“Because of Pritam da, I got the wonderful opportunity to be a part of Priyadarshan sir’s ‘Haiwaan’. That is something I am genuinely grateful for. To be associated with a project like this and to have my creative contribution become a part of its music is a very special feeling. More than anything, I am thankful for the faith Pritam da has shown in me and the opportunities he continues to give me,” he said.

Andrews also wrote the lyrics for the English section of ‘Rangiyara’, giving him an opportunity to explore another side of his craft.

“For me, music has never been restricted to one particular role. Whether I am singing, composing, arranging or writing, I love discovering something new with every project. ‘Rangiyara’ gave me that opportunity once again. I am very excited for audiences to experience the song in the film and hear how the English section comes together as part of the overall musical narrative,” he said. (IANS)
