MUMBAI: Indo American Singer-Songwriter Subhi @subhimusic who has been releasing her original Hindi singles like Aagosh, Cage, Naqaab and Mehfil, recently released a dark remix version of her hit single “Wake Me Up”. This will be her first song post her pregnancy. Her previous EP “Define Me” was conceived and made entirely during her pregnancy. And Wake Me Up ( Dark remix ) is her way of getting back to action with creating more songs.
The Dark remix is a song in collaboration with Kanishk Seth and has an Indian feel to it. This song is a product of her fans requesting her to make an Indian version of her popular number. Subhi has been amongst the most active music artists in the country during the pandemic lockdown. She has released numerous songs over this period. The song was officially released on the 19th of November 2021. About the track:
Subhi says “In March 2020, I was traveling to LA to work with my producer Taylor Sparks. COVID had just unfolded in the USA. There was a sense of sadness, worry & hopelessness. I knew this will be the last time I will be traveling, be in a studio or meet family/friends for a while. ‘Wake Me Up’ is a song about wanting to emerge from the darkness created by the fear of being lonely & lost in this pandemic. I was hoping things wouldn’t get worse but they did. The lines ‘Pull me up from the dark’ kept coming to my mind and I created this song on the stop during my session with Taylor. his song ‘Wake Me Up’ reached the semi-finals of the ‘Unsigned only’ Competition 2020 in the USA, premiered on Vh1 India, and was featured by Rolling Stone India, American Songwriter Magazine (USA), Culture Collide (USA) & Refinery 29 (USA). This track is a remix of the original song which was released earlier this year. I have collaborated with the amazing and talented Kanishk Seth on this remix. We previously collaborated on one of my Hindi songs ‘Aagosh’ and this is our first collaboration on an English track. I love the sound of this remix – it has a modern, contemporary vibe with a hooky Shehnai melody adding a cool Indian touch”.
