Sona Mohapatra says 'Rang De' from 'Shut Up Sona' is her tribute to Meera Bai

Singer-songwriter-producer Sona Mohapatra on Monday released a new track titled 'Rang De'.

The track, composed by her husband Ram Sampath to Meera Bai's poetry, is from her recently-released OTT film 'Shut Up Sona'.

The music video is shot in the underbelly of Paris with street art that showcases great female icons, from Edith Piaf to Frieda Kahlo.

Commenting on the occasion, Sona spoke about how it was only in her teenage years that she really got to know about Meera Bai and her philosophy, thereby breaking the image that she had in her mind about the female poet in her childhood.

The singer said, "As a child, I found the imagery of Meera Bai to be very docile and therefore depressing. I mostly got to see visuals of her wearing white, sitting within four walls with a tamboora, her devotion bordering on servility while her rebellion wasn't really highlighted."
