And then don’t look back. The process didn’t have to be long since it was a direct expression of my emotions at the time. The best things always happen when we don’t overthink and let out hearts lead the way,” said the singer.
Well, behind every successful work is a great team-work. Shot at beautiful locations in Ujjain, Devi is a compilation of team effort. “I think as a team we pulled off the recording, shooting and compilation in less than a week. I am extremely grateful to have worked with fantastic people and close friends like Anvita Dutt who wrote the beautiful lyrics and Raj Kaushal, the genius behind the much-loved video. It takes great teamwork to create magic and I have been very lucky in that respect,”
Ravjiani has a lot of respect for women and the song is truly dedicated to womanhood. He shares his feeling for women in our country, how they have been treated and the way women over come circumstances.
“Devi is my heartfelt tribute to womankind and a celebration of everything they stand for. As a culture, we Indians have always worshipped goddesses and prayed for their divine power to bless us and our loved ones. Sadly, however, the same culture doesn’t give the living goddesses among us, our women and girls, the same kind of respect and love. Yet, time has shown, that despite being held back, our women are sheer powerhouses of strength and have risen time and again from even the most extreme circumstances to prove that they are forces to reckon with. It is this power that Devi represents in a musical form,” said the singer.
Every single created by Ravjiani is loved and has touched people’s hearts. Be it Hanuman Chalisa or Gayatri Mantra, people have always loved his work. “Every single that I have composed and sung has come straight from the heart and when I put a song out into the world and it comes back to me in the form of love and appreciation of many people, I feel immensely blessed, extremely grateful and humbled. Devi has been another beautiful journey and I am very touched by the response so far,” Ravjiani ended.
