From the biggest stage of Coachella to the sacred foundations of South Indian heritage, Sid Sriram keeps crossing boundaries in the most dazzling manner. His new single, "SOL", is not a song—it's an immersive experience, soaked in emotion, cultural confluence, and artistically daring. Out on Warner Music India, the song is yet another strong chapter in the story of Sid reimagining what global Indian music sounds and looks like.
Responsible for effortlessly combining Carnatic heritage with soul, R&B, and international sounds, Sid repeats that winning magic here in "SOL"—this time with even greater deliberation. Written, recorded, and played by Sid himself, the song is a journey through joy, energy, change, and love. It's highly personal also—developed with his sister Pallavi and father, which lends depth of intimacy to the already complex sonic terrain.
The music video, directed by Parasher Baruah, is taken to a whole new level. With the legendary Usha Jey and her team—well known for fusing Bharatanatyam with hip-hop—the visuals are an intriguing blend of the old and the new. Against the backdrop of symbolic imagery such as a withered tree, ancient walls, and Kolam-inspired motifs, the choreography and camera work blend together to become a dance of tradition and transcendence.
Usha Jey and her company are the ideal visual metaphor for what the song itself embodies: cultural transformation and continuity. Their blending of classical Indian movement with modern streetwear heightens the song's central themes—demonstrating how identities can grow without ever betraying what they are. It's art that transcends generations and geography.
With "SOL," Sid Sriram is not merely releasing a track—he's issuing a creative manifesto. As he gets ready for his multi-city India tour from November 2025, "SOL" serves as both spiritual warm-up and message of intent: this is music unfettered by borders, genres, or expectation. It's breathing. And it's ready to move the world.
