Challenging Expectations: Hitha Is Something Special

rsz_hitha-5

‘Special’ is a message to someone who is very special to pop starlet Hitha- but refreshingly, this is no ordinary romantic love ballad. No, instead it is dedicated to anyone special in her life, from friends to relatives to those who don’t necessarily get the recognition they deserve.

 

Hitha has states that she had her grandma in mind when she wrote the song. This is even more fitting given the fact that she explores her cultural roots throughout the song: featuring both saxophone and flute, the latter of which gives a richness and purity as well as an element from her passion for traditional Indian music.

The song is also intended as a message to teens that their opinions matter and their feelings are not to be trivialised and that their thoughts and ideas matter too. Managing to balance school life, the trials and tribulations of a teenager and a musical career is no mean feat, but Hitha achieves it all with almost superhuman cheerfulness and is hoping to both inspire teens to have the confidence to express themselves whilst also asking older generations to take the time to listen to them and to understand that their feelings are just as important.
