Touch My Body - Alone by Aditi Singh Sharma

Touch My Body - Alone is one of those rare Hindi tracks that manages to feel both fresh and familiar the moment it begins. The music, composed by Raghav Sachar, Dr Zeus, carries the song forward with a confidence that matches the performance.

There are singers who perform songs and singers who live inside them. On Touch My Body - Alone, Aditi Singh Sharma clearly belongs in the second group. Bipasha Basu, Karan Singh Grover, Sagar Saikia, Zakir Hussain gave the film its soul, and Touch My Body - Alone is the song that most directly channels that feeling into music.

By the end of 2015, Touch My Body - Alone had moved well beyond its original audience and into everyday playlists. Whether it plays on a long drive, during a quiet evening at home, or through earphones on a crowded commute, the song meets the listener where they are.

The concision of Touch My Body - Alone — just 3:46 — is part of what makes it work. There is nothing here that should not be. For anyone yet to hear Touch My Body - Alone, the experience ahead is a good one. For those returning, it will be as good as they remember.
