Up in the Sky by Sreehari P.V, Shankar

Few songs from 2026 have held their ground as well as Up in the Sky, a track that keeps finding new audiences. The arrangement here is the work of Sreehari P.V, Shankar, Vishnu Mohan Sithara, and it shows genuine craft in how it builds and releases.

There are singers who perform songs and singers who live inside them. On Up in the Sky, Sreehari P.V, Shankar clearly belongs in the second group. The chemistry of a talented ensemble cast is embedded in every moment of Up in the Sky, making it as much a performance as a song.

2026 was a strong year for Malayalam music, and Up in the Sky was among the reasons why. The song rewards full attention but also works as company in the background — a flexibility that most tracks never achieve.

At 4:41, the track does not overstay its welcome — it says what it needs to say and leaves the listener wanting more. Up in the Sky endures because it was built on feeling rather than formula — and that is the one thing streaming numbers cannot manufacture.
