They’ve had us tripping over the outstanding ‘Slowly Slowly’ from Go Goa Gone, and now composers Sachin – Jigar are set to up the wacky quotient with the release of the next track from the album. ‘Khoon Choos Le’ an ode to the grimness that Monday is infamous to bring along with it, was released online earlier today; the launch timed perfectly on a Sunday evening keeping in sync with the mood of the song. Composed and arranged by Sachin – Jigar, lyrics penned by Amitabh Bhattacharya, the track is sung by Priya Panchaal, Arjun Kanungo and Suraj Jagan.
Priya who wrote the lyrics for ‘Slowly Slowly’ gets behind the mic for this one. “From Soulful ‘Bezubaan’ (from the movie ABCD) to radically funky ‘Khoon Choosle’, I’m glad that I got the opportunity to showcase range n diversity of my voice,” she shares.
Speaking about how he got roped in for the track, Arjun says, “Sachin-Jigar called me out of the blue one day and asked me to come in and try it out. They got my reference from Shalmali Kholgade. Shalmali and I have been friends and fellow singers (we were in a band together) for sometime. I was instantly in love with the song and fortunately the stars were aligned that day and everything just came out right. A few weeks later I got a call from Sachin saying they loved my voice and they were keeping it as the lead voice. Needless to say, I was thrilled. I loved it as soon as Jigar sang it out for me. I think it’s a great song!
We agree! So sing along!
Ae le, phir aa gaya tu, face utha ke,
Dum lega kya, meri jaan khaake,
Khoon choosne tu aaya, khoon choosne,
Bloody khooni Monday, kyun aaya khoon choosne,
Tu jaa re jaa re jaa, kabootar jaaaa
Main nahi jaana, main nahi jaanaaa
Main nahi jaana, bistar ko chhod ke
Khoon choos le tu mera khoon chooos le,
Bloody khooni Monday tu chahe khoon choos le.
Ae maana tere naam mein hai mann ek baar
toh tu mann ki karega, kya bey Monday,
Kaahe bhaaye na karaar, jab tak tu na yaar
gaade Sunday ki kabar par jhandey,
Sukoon ke shikari, Somvaar,
Main nahi jaana, main nahi jaanaaa
main nahi jaana, bistar ko chhod ke
Khoon choos le tu mera khoon chooos le,
Bloody khooni Monday tu chahe khoon choos le.
