There is that one song that comes your way every once in a while that manages to latch itself on to your head, refusing to let go. EVER .
Did you just start humming ‘Shape Of You’? Or was it ‘Cheap Thrills’?
Anyhow, the point is, when that one stubborn tune gets stuck in your head, you know it is there to stay. Irrespective of the shape it is delivered to you in.
Okay, we’ll relieve you of the tiring clues and wordplay now. We know you know! We’re talking of Ed Sheeran’s Shape Of You.
Hold on! Before you stop reading, exasperated at what seems like the millionth rendition of the song, here’s an earnest (maybe one of our last ones) request to take a look at this one!
Praniti, a US-based young singer, has churned out an addictive mash-up of the Ed Sheeran song with the Tamil song Aathangara Orathil. Whether you’ve heard both or neither, we assure you it is still worth a listen!
