From Qala To Jubilee: How The Golden Era Music Is Getting Reincarnated

Gone are the days when only our parents could say “gaane to humare zamane me hote the” because now we are officially eligible for chanting the phrase too. Thanks to the mind-blowing new Hindi music that has taken every bit of inspiration from the golden era tunes that continue to echo all around us; sometimes you can hear a faint sound of “lag ja gale” from the neighbour’s house while other times, you catch your parents drenching in the rain while they groove to “rim jhim gire sawan.”

Qala And Jubilee: Reweaving The Old Tunes

Recent OTT storytelling including Qala, Jubilee, and Monica Oh My Darling have recognised how gaga everyone is over these heartfelt, soulful tunes that take us back to the easier times which were also way more culturally rich. In the era when authenticity has taken a backseat, artists like Amit Trivedi took the responsibility to take a canvas and paint a completely new masterpiece while getting inspired by the phenomenal music of that era to the maximum.

Breaking The EDM Monotony

While Bollywood chose to remix the olden golden hits to recreate the hype of those evergreen tunes by remixing them with psyched EDM, OTT music is majorly focusing on creating new music with a vintage undertone to keep people fascinated. There is no disagreeing with the fact that EDM has its own amusing and blood-pumping feel to it, but the classics are what we can use on days when we feel like cuddling up in a blanket, all alone.

A Wave Of Nostalgia

While some would argue to let bygones be bygones, real lovers of art believe in bringing expired trends back to life every few decades. A similar projection occurred for these freshly released tunes. The trend chose to revise itself and the audience could not refuse to that beautiful wave of nostalgia that it brought along with itself. Besides, there is the fact that the latest music hasn’t been as appealing to the current youthful generation given that they grew up with the melodies of legendary composers like Shankar Ehsaan Loy, Amit Trivedi, Vishal Shekhar, Pritam, and many more. Moreover, the nostalgia-soaked melodies (Pasoori To Calm Down: Recap of 10 Songs We Heard On Loop In 2022) are all that we need when times get tough and EDMs can’t make you dance anymore.
