Aria Mody is not your average teenager; having risen to internet sensation status, the talented creative appears to excel at a variety of things, be her academic studies or her unwavering artistic commitment. A gifted singer and songwriter, Mody is particularly propped up by her mixed Indian-American heritage, a witty blend of influences that makes her uniquely placed to carve out a personal, alternative path into mainstream pop. ‘Made in India’ is the perfect evidence of that. Aria’s latest effort, the record draws from Western music as much as it does from classic Indian pop, a slice of electronic eclecticism with lyrics in English and Hindi.
Multi-platinum Grammy-winning producer Derek “DOA” Allen is on production duties, helping transform ‘Made in India’ into an international banger. Delving deeper into the song’s message, Mody explains: “It tells a familiar tale of youthful infatuation—with a twist: this love story is ‘Made in India’. It was born at the intersection of two worlds—and it would feel at home anywhere.”
Despite the record itself already being a potent offering, the vision behind the release is further enhanced by an excellent music video, directed, choreographed, and shot by Prince Gupta, a renowned Bollywood creative force celebrated for his bold visual storytelling and choreography. Indian actor and influencer Ayaan Zubair plays Mody’s love interest, creating a compelling and fierce storytelling that perfectly matches the track’s aural character.
