According to Rolling Stone India, the rapper recently spoke about the lyrics of the song and the connection the words have with his real life. He stated that the song draws comparisons between the blessings and curses of his life, which brought him to his current position. The song Punya Paap has been catching up well with the audiences as they love the upbeat and catchy music which has been combined well with heartfelt lyrics.
Rapper DIVINE recently put out a statement, revealing details about his new song Punya Paap. According to Rolling Stone India, he said that the song Punya Paap is a very personal offering from his side. The song gives a perspective on DIVINE’s life, sketching out the good, the bad, and the ugly. The much-loved artist said that family, God, and music have been present in his life throughout, as fortune and blessing. On the other hand, temptations and vices have also come his way, in the form of money, fame, and wrong company. These aspects of his life have been presented in the song as punya and paap.
The song Punya Paap is also the title track of his new album which will be released within the next few months. Speaking about the lyrics of Punya Paap, DIVINE said that the title track is an authentic reflection of his life and how he wants to reconstruct it in the days to come. The song is also about a choice that lies ahead of him – the choice between unabashed drama and seeking redemption.
The lack of touring and equivalent opportunities has hit the entire music, entertainment, and nightlife ecosystem hard. While some navigate a way around it and try newer things, rapper Divine has used this time to write as much as he can. “Musically and creatively, the additional time has given me perspective, which might not have been that easy to come by otherwise,” he says. So, a year after Kohinoor, his hit debut album, the musician is now all set to release his next, Punya Paap. The title track of the album was released recently. Here, Vivian Fernandes, aka Divine, talks about his new release and the future of hip-hop.
From a thematic perspective, Punya Paap focuses on how I’ve lived my life up to this point, some of it being virtuous and some sinful, in the most traditional ways. The reality of life is that you can be on the wrong side of the law and lead a virtuous life and vice versa – I draw parallels to that in a lot of my lyrics. Kohinoor was based more on my journey, how even a substance like coal can develop into a diamond. Musically, Punya Paap as an album will showcase a very
different side of me – a more confident and experimentative songwriter.
