The new song Ishq Ka Fever from the upcoming Shahid Kapoor-starrer O’Romeo was unveiled recently. The song has been crooned by superstar singer Arijit Singh. This comes after the singer announced his retirement from playback singing. The soulful romantic track of the film is composed by Vishal Bhardwaj, and written by Gulzar. The song features Shahid Kapoor and Triptii Dimri, and makes an arresting first move, opening with a fiery line delivered by Farida Jalal before easing into a melody that’s intimate, aching, and quietly addictive.

 

The song keeps things simple and understated, letting the feelings slowly sink in of deep love. There’s a quiet longing in the song, and Shahid and Triptii’s chemistry fits right into that mood, a fresh pairing that fans are excited to see. It’s the kind of romance that grows bit by bit, making it a perfect song as Valentine’s week comes closer. n
