FiDA ft Dewaan – This Love (2022)

FiDA with the help of Dewaan is combining their unique melodies for ‘This Love’. Playing out a conversation between two lovers who are confused by each other’s feelings, the single flows between hyper-pop, electronic pop and alternative pop. With a splash of autotune, the bi-lingual single not only showcases the expansion of FiDA’s sound but both artists’ musicality.

Following on from the success of his last release, FiDA takes his music to another level with this unique collaboration. Having firmly set himself apart from the crowd, this blend of South Asian melodies, pop and RnB is sure to cement his place in the hearts of listeners. Moving from strength to strength, he continues to draw new listeners with his innovative style.



The vocals open ‘This Love’ with a sigh that leads you straight into the lyrics. The lyrics hit serious questions from the first moment bringing a feeling of confusion. There is an autotune touch to the vocals that creates an echo that vibrates on the chorus. While tinged with electronic touches, the delivery of the performance is smooth as it opens the conversation of the single. The second verse brings a change in language as the response to the opening verse comes in Urdu/Hindi. The transition between the languages is perfect and so seamless that you can’t imagine it happening any other way. There is a bounce of pop to the performance that comes later while the confused and pained questioning continues. While there is no resolution to the conversation, there is a wonderful feeling of everything having been laid out in the open and the knowledge that you could move forward from this point.

As the vocals seamlessly move through the soundscape and languages, the melody has you bouncing to the fusion of tones. There is a deep beat that enters under the opening verse that meets a delicate key line. It is a rather delicate melody leading up to the bopping beats that follow the chorus. The South Asian touch to the melody is extremely engaging and gets you moving to its rhythm. Through the bounce of the beats, the melody has a forward propulsion that changes the whole game of the single.

FiDA and Dewaan bring a conversation to the lyrics of ‘This Love’ while the fusion beats get you moving to their rhythm. The conversational arrangement of the lyrics allows both their vocals to shine and seamlessly slide between languages. The melody has this infectious bounce that has you moving before you even realise it.
