After the success of the independent track ‘Vari Vari’, composed by Santhosh Narayanan with lyrics written by Vivek, singer Dhee has recorded a new remix of the same song. The new version will feature a collaboration with American popstar Lara Raj of KATSEYE. The remix has been composed by Santhosh Narayanan, with 808 Krishna serving as the co-producer. The original track, which was released earlier this year, has amassed 23 million views on YouTube. “The song, featuring the voices of DHEE and Lara Raj, has been created through an international musical collaboration between two female artists of Tamil heritage, and has secured a place in the playlists of music lovers across the globe,” a release said.
Singer Dhee’s latest song, Vari Vari, begins with images of two children playing in the fields of Sri Lanka, as the grainy visuals work overtime to evoke a strong sense of yearning. “It’s a happy-sounding song, but if you pay attention to the lyrics, it’s melancholic,” the singer told The Hollywood Reporter India in an earlier interview. "It’s a fun space to be in, and it’s a song that’s about losing something or someone…but by the end of it, you realise that it’s a piece of yourself that you’re looking for. Like how we long for our inner child.”
The video continues with Dhee sitting on the back seat of an old red car as it passes by long, winding roads. And this little red car is being driven by Santhosh Narayanan, who also produced the song. “Sonically, it’s the most pop appa (Santhosh Narayanan), and I have gone into the indie space. But it has all the elements we’re inspired by and those we love in our music.
The hit composer is presently working on two high-profile films in Tamil: Seyon starring Sivakarthikeyan and Chiyaan 63 with Vikram. He has also been confirmed to score music for Nag Ashwin's Kalki 2898AD sequel.
