Preeya Kalidas is leading up to the release of her single “Love Between Us” and to hook all of us in, she has released the music video.
The song features the Bollywood classic “Ram Lakhan” making this number a fresh twist on East meets West. The song has been produced and co-written by Davinche and I am a fan.
The video shows Preeya being watched by paparazzi and she tries to keep her man under wraps. Preeya’s style and swag in the video are all her personality and she looks great.
I’ve waited to Preeya to wow me and after “Shimmy” and being dropped by her label, I wanted this even more for her and this song is definitely pointing her career in the right direction.
Here’s “Ram Lakhan” for the reference.

Actress, singer, songwriter Preeya Kalidas has been dabbling in the arts for quite some time. Shifting focus to music, Preeya has now released the new single “Love Between Us.”
Preeya sets up this release by telling us all that this will be just one of three releases this year! From what we hear in “Love Between Us,” this songstress has some tricks up her sleeve. Discussing her new single, Preeya says, “Ram Lakhan was a classic Bollywood film I enjoyed watching when I was growing up. I’ve always wanted to work with music from this iconic film and was given the chance to on
this song. I think the way that Davinche has produced it adds a real edge to the song and the early response on ‘Love Between Us’ has been brilliant.” Preeya is creating her own modern twist of Bollywood, Western fusion and I am a fan of what she is coming up with.
“Love Between Us” has been co-written by Preeya and Davinche, who has also produced the track. Davinche’s impressive resume includes works done for (previous work includes Tinie Tempah, Wretch 32, Cleo Sol).
In 2010, Preeya quit her fulltime television gig to pursue music. Preeya walked away with a record deal with Mercury Records released “Shimmy” featuring Mumzy Stranger.
The single was heavily promoted and Preeya found herself singing her song on so many platforms, yet the track didn’t resonate with fans and Preeya was in turn dropped from her label. This didn’t slow her down as she continued to record and collaborate with artists. Preeya looked hot and sounded great on Skepta’s track “Cross My Heart.” Between careers and finding her footing, Preeya headed back to Eastenders late last year, but continued the music career and now is strategically releasing songs.
“Love Between Us” will be followed up with a music video this month.

Urban Desi acts are heading back to their roots with the use of Bollywood songs. Arjun borrows the hit song “Zara Zara” for his latest release.
“Zara Zara” is originally from the film Rehna Hai Tere Dil Mein. Maintaining the integrity of the track, Arjun includes it in its original form.
I am a fan of Arjun’s and think this video and track are just another notch in Arjun’s belt. I appreciate the regular, good quality releases and always look forward to more.
