Burj Khalifa by Neelkamal Singh, Shilpi Raj

Burj Khalifa is the kind of song that earns its place in a playlist and then refuses to leave. The music, composed by Arya Sharma, carries the song forward with a confidence that matches the performance.

Every line Neelkamal Singh, Shilpi Raj sings feels considered, as though the performance was thought through long before recording began. For fans of a talented ensemble cast, Burj Khalifa is one of those songs that immediately conjures specific scenes and emotions.

The 2022 release gave fans something to hold onto — a track built for repeated listening rather than a single play. Listeners have described the experience of Burj Khalifa differently — romantic, melancholic, uplifting — which suggests the song is large enough to hold many truths.

Running to 3:39, the song is exactly as long as it needs to be, which is the hardest length for a songwriter to find. The staying power of Burj Khalifa is not a mystery. It is just what happens when every element of a song is exactly right.
