Mumbai, Nov 28 (NationPress) Playback singer Jonita Gandhi, recognized for her hits like ‘Gilehriyaan’, ‘What Jhumka’, and ‘Dil Ka Telephone’, debuted her interpretation of ‘Noorie’ on Thursday.
The original melody was sung by Lata Mangeshkar and Nitin Mukesh, telling the tale of Noorie and Yusuf, two aspirational souls striving to create a future together amidst challenging circumstances.
In Jonita’s modern rendition, ‘Noorie (Two Sides)’, the classic is revitalized with a contemporary flair. Her performance features vibrant production, modern beats, and newly crafted lyrics that enhance the emotional depth of the narrative.
Reflecting on her rendition, Jonita expressed, ‘Noorie’ is a song that holds significant meaning for me. I feel incredibly privileged to reinterpret ‘Noorie’, offering a fresh take on its timeless lyrics while honoring its true essence. With ‘Noorie’ (Two Sides), I aimed to delve into themes of estrangement and the persistent despair that accompanies it—feelings that resonate universally.
“Revisiting such an iconic piece of music and adding my personal touch has been a remarkable experience. I hope my interpretation resonates with the audience as much as it does with me,” she added.
Jonita’s ‘Noorie’ serves as a heartfelt homage to a classic work, merging nostalgia with modernity.
Additionally, Jonita is prepared to open for the eagerly anticipated performance by global pop sensation Dua Lipa in Mumbai on November 30, where she will perform ‘Noorie’ live for the very first time.
