Known for his captivating presence, Raman’s music blends intrigue and emotional depth, qualities that shine brightly in Dekho Na. This track, carefully crafted over time, showcases his evolving artistry and dedication to his craft.
A New Sound and Vision
Co-produced by fellow Molfa artist Aman Sagar, with contributions from A&R talents Raghav Meattle of first.wav and Chintan Chauhan from Molfa, Dekho Na brings a fresh sound to Raman’s discography. The song merges elements of I-pop and R&B, highlighting Raman’s smooth vocals and introspective lyrics. Written by Samad Khan and Raman himself, it marks a creative shift for the artist, offering a more exploratory and nuanced musical experience.
“This song is a transition to a new sound I’ve been exploring,” Raman says, reflecting on the creative process. “It’s a step towards something bigger.” His desire to push the boundaries of his music is echoed by Molfa Music’s CO, Dheer Momaya, who notes, “Artists are always in some stage of metamorphosis. We’re incredibly excited about what’s coming from Raman. We always encourage our artists to push the boundaries of their imagination and find ways of reflecting themselves honestly in their work. Raman feels like he’s come of age now, and the new works will hopefully mirror that.”
A Video That Tells More Than One Story
The music video for Dekho Na takes the song’s themes of longing and connection and spins them into a visually stunning narrative. It’s more than just a straightforward depiction of the song’s story; it’s a visual twist that gives Dekho Na an extra layer of depth. The concept, inspired by Raman’s personal experiences of being perceived a certain way, blends a fairytale-like atmosphere with Marathi folklore.
Set against the beautiful backdrop of Alibaug’s outskirts, the video is a captivating watch, featuring the popular Marathi actress Bhagyashree. Her presence adds a touch of cultural richness, transforming the video into something that feels simultaneously local and globally relatable.
