Mumbai, September 14
Renowned music composer Pritam Chakraborty has collaborated with Norwegian DJ and musician Alan Walker.
The two are all set to come up with the track 'Children of the Sun', via Warner Music India. The song, which also features vocals from Vishal Mishra, blends Eastern and Western musical influences, Variety reported.
The collaboration stems from a 2019 meeting during Walker's Mumbai tour stop, which led to a friendship between the artists. The song combines 80s synthwave elements with Walker's electronic style and Pritam's composition. Its lyrics, centered around the sun's symbolism, aim to convey themes of human connection. The track includes a children's choir and is described as a tribute to the next generation.
Sharing how they got in touch with each other, Walker said, "I first met Pritam in 2019, and ever since, we've kept in touch and worked on releasing a track together. I'm really pleased with how it turned out - both the message and how it brings together different sounds and languages."
Pritam added, "Music has the power to heal, inspire, and unite. I hope that 'Children Of The Sun' will touch the hearts of listeners around the world and bring a message of hope and unity."
The song will be out on September 26. Notably, Walker will embark on a 10-city Walkerworld Tour by Sunburn across India. The tour starts in Kolkata on Sept 27 and concludes in Hyderabad on October 20, with an expected attendance of over 1,00,000 fans.
