Singer Divya Kumar Reflects on His Unforgettable Collaboration for Stree 2’s Chart-topping Songs

In a candid conversation, Divya Kumar shared his thoughts on recording for Stree 2 and recalls the challenge of conveying emotions through music. The singer expressed his excitement about being part of such a popular franchise, saying, “It was a good experience to lend my voice to such beautiful compositions. There’s always the creative risk of wondering whether the songs and the voice will resonate with the audience. But without a doubt, these songs have reshaped Bollywood’s musical landscape.”

Further, he talks about his relationship with the composer. He says, “My relationship with Sachin-Jigar goes back to the beginning of my singing career. I assisted them for 4 to 5 years, during which I learned so much about music production, programming, and the art of creating melodies. Recording both songs was a delightful experience, especially since 'Aaj Ki Raat' was a last-minute addition just before the song's release. It’s a beautiful composition by Sachin-Jigar, with exceptional lyrics by Amitabh Bhattacharya and Madhubanti Bagchi, a brilliant new talent, adding her magic to it.”

“‘Aayi nai’ was a little tough to sing initially because it was a high-pitched song, and I was a part of it from the first scratch. I got this opportunity to record with power star Pawan Singh and, of course, the best quirkiness Amitabh Sir could go with – all in all, one of the year's biggest albums,” he adds.

“Here's an inside secret. I have also sung backing vocals for ‘Tumhare the' and 'khubsoorat' from the album,” the singer shares with a chuckle.

Divya is full of gratitude for multiple collaborations with Maddock Films. He praised producer Dinesh Vijan, saying, “Dino sir gives us freedom and courage. His track record makes the label trust his ideas. It’s refreshing to have a producer who supports your creative vision—it’s like embracing your artistic madness.”

Divya Kumar has emerged as one of the most talented singers of his generation, especially following the success of Stree 2. His upcoming project, Bolly Qawwali, is a highly anticipated musical show featuring Divya Kumar in the spotlight.

 In this performance, Kumar masterfully fuses traditional qawwali with popular Bollywood music, creating a unique blend of classical and contemporary styles. His innovative approach offers a fresh perspective on iconic Bollywood songs while staying true to the rich heritage of qawwali, making it a captivating experience for music lovers.
