O Gujariya - Queen by Amit Trivedi, Nikhil D'souza, Shefali Alvares

O Gujariya - Queen works because it does not try to do too much — it finds one feeling and holds it perfectly. What makes O Gujariya - Queen musically distinctive is the composition by Amit Trivedi, which balances simplicity with depth.

Every line Amit Trivedi, Nikhil D'souza, Shefali Alvares sings feels considered, as though the performance was thought through long before recording began. Kangana Ranaut, Raj Kumar Rao, Lisa Haydon are at the heart of Queen, and O Gujariya - Queen captures their dynamic at its most compelling.
