After Jimmy Jimmy, Aoora set to release Bappi Lahiri’s Auva Auva

Aoora was introduced to disco king Bappi da’s songs only a couple of months ago after a friend shared them with him. “I instantly liked its (Jimmy Jimmy Aaja Aaja) disco beats and thought it would be interesting to mix it with K-pop,” he says, adding that he is happy with the reception that ‘Jimmy Jimmy’ has been getting. The two minute and seven second song released on May 25 received 5.9 lakh views on his official YouTube account and 11.5 lakh views on music label Saregama’s official YouTube channel.

“I am happy that I could do justice in recreating his legendary songs,” says Aoora, adding that he loves Bappi da’s ‘Jimmy Jimmy’, ‘Auva Auva’ and ‘Disco Dancer’. When asked if he is going to recreate the titular song of the film, he says it is a secret. “I am here for a 10-song deal with Saregama, we will be releasing one song every month and you will have to keep checking my Instagram to know more,” he adds with a chuckle.

Aoora, who has been in India since April, is scheduled to return home this month after a concert in Mumbai on June 17. But he has his eyes on a lot more collaborations. “Content is king,” he points out, adding that he enjoys not only Hindi songs but also Punjabi, Tamil and Telugu songs. “I also love (rapper) King’s ‘Maan Meri Jaan’ and Tony Kakkar is also one of my favourites,” he notes, adding that he can’t wait to do more collaborations with artists across the country.
