Shreya Ghoshal Says ‘Siddha Bhajo’ Is a Personal Tribute to Her Father
MUMBAI — Playback singer Shreya Ghoshal said her recently released devotional song “Siddha Bhajo” holds a deeply personal meaning because it is one of her father’s favorite bhajans.
The five-time National Award-winning singer said the rendition is a tribute to the spiritual influence her father has had on her life and musical journey.
“Siddha Bhajo’ is a bhajan that carries immense spiritual depth and simplicity. While recording it, I felt a sense of calm and introspection that I hope listeners will also experience through the music,” Ghoshal said.
“It is a reminder to pause, reflect, and reconnect with the self beyond the noise of everyday life. This bhajan has always been one of my father’s most favourite bhajans, so singing it became deeply emotional and personal for me. In many ways, this rendition is my tribute to him and to the values of spirituality and inner peace that he has always believed in,” she added.
The newly released track is a spiritual and meditative version of a traditional bhajan rooted in the philosophy of nirgun bhakti and timeless spiritual wisdom. The rendition uses a minimalist approach, allowing the message of the bhajan to remain at the center of the composition.
Ghoshal recently released her “All Hearts Tour” live studio album. She said the idea of turning the tour into an album came after she and her team performed at several iconic venues across the world.
“I think we had such a fantastic journey in this tour because it spanned over a year, and we traveled to every part of the world, almost every possible city which we could have. And we had so much love garnered on the way from the audiences wherever we went and we did some really memorable shows,” she said earlier.
“I will remember them as closer to my heart concerts in terms of the venues, sometimes the audiences, sometimes the setlist, every time it was special. So, we thought that we would just curate all of it and make an album out of it. And it was a hard decision to, you know, which song to put. But we tried to get the best of the recordings from each of these venues,” Ghoshal added. (Source: IANS)
