Moods & Melodies became an apparent title for one of my daydreams to create a series of cover songs from old and forgotten Odia songs. The intention was never to recreate MTV Coke Studio. The aim was sole and simple – to introduce the newer generation to the musical legacy Odisha once had. The younger generation can not go and search for a song they never know existed; even if they know they tend to discard them as something that is ‘old’ and ‘uncool’. But in the current trend (2020) of remix and remakes, they will show interest for anything that is new even if it is originally old. Thus with this concept of ‘ReNew’, Moods & Melodies was made with utmost care and concern. From song and singer selection to re-creation of tracks to making of music videos, everything was created with a singular vision. I am grateful to its audience and its maker (Lighthouse production house) for showing so much enthusiasm and support for this project.
