MUMBAI: Young artiste from Guwahati Goldie Sohel wrote, composed and sung, a romantic single ‘Dil Da Khayal’ featuring the actress Rose Sardana. The composition has a nice blend of ghazal and a romantic ballad which brings the soulful old-school vibe with a modern approach.
Goldie is popularly known for songs like ‘Baat Nahi Karni’, ‘Aankhon Hi Aankhon Mein’, ‘Nafarmani’ and ‘Aaja Ve’ on TM Music, ‘Tumhari Yaad Ayee Hai’ and ‘Mera Hona Ki Nahin Hona’ on Zee Music and ‘Kisi Aur Naal (Acoustic)’ on VYRL Originals.

I’ve composed and written some Punjabi songs, few of which are still in the pipeline, but ‘Dil Da Khayal’ especially is close to my heart. Both the lyrics and composition happened to me naturally. The song doesn’t directly talk about love but more about expressing the emotions of love. The composition has a nice blend of ghazal and a romantic ballad which brings the old school soulful and beautiful vibe yet with a modern approach.
Watch here:
The song is a whole package of you, as you have sung, written and composed, what is the story behind it?
I always wanted to be a singer-songwriter, composer and producer, and knowing all about the process, it just came naturally to me. I had a great time working with Manash Borthakur who produced the song and was in line with me on giving the song some organic touch with elements like Tabla played by Sanjiv Sen, Sarangi by Dilshad Khan, strokes by Tapas Roy, Guitar by Ishan Das and bass by Abhinav Bora. Also, Sunny M.R. has mixed the track beautifully creating a great aura in the mix.
2020 has turned up quite well for you unlike others, tell us about it?
I’m glad independent music got the right amount of hype finally. As artistes made their own music with whatever they had, even I spent a lot of my time being optimistic and making the best use of this time. Another great thing about this time has been the launch of TM Music as it’s been in the pipeline for more than 3-4 years.
What are the upcoming projects?
Besides ‘Dil Da Khayal’ on TM Music, I have two new tracks which have just been released. ‘Kasam’ on Times Music has been sung by myself, composed by Bibhuti Gogoi with lyrics by Rahul Mishra. While ‘Maula’ on Saregama is composed and written by myself and sung by Papon. A few more songs are in the pipeline for early next year. Stay tuned on my Instagram for more updates.
