Ananya Birla – “Blackout” lyric video
“‘Blackout’ is all about taking a step back from the relentless pace of the modern world. It took me a while, but I’ve realized that life isn’t about racing to the finish line, it’s about savoring every step of the journey.” – Ananya Birla
‘Blackout’ is one of the first collaborations between major artists from India and Nigeria.
The likable tune will be featured on Birla’s highly anticipated debut EP, entitled, “Fingerprint”, available on May 17, 2019.
‘Blackout’ contains a thought-provoking storyline, pleasing vocals, and lush instrumentation flavored with hip-hop and international pop elements. Also, the song was produced by DJ Buddha (Pitbull, Jason Derulo, Shakira).
