Back to the rock and roll era...

The highly anticipated live-action musical The Archies, helmed by filmmaker Zoya Akhtar, which will be aired on Netflix, has already made quite an impression with its first song Sunoh. The creators of the film have now unveiled its second song titled Va Va Voom, a groovy time machine to the ‘60s rock and roll era. Va Va Voom is composed by the dynamic trio Shankar–Ehsaan–Loy, penned by renowned lyricist Javed Akhtar and sung by Tejas Menon.

An electrifying dance spectacle, Va Va Voom celebrates the timeless rock and roll tunes, with Dot (Aditi), Agastya Nanda, Khushi Kapoor, Mihir Ahuja, Suhana Khan, Vedang Raina and Yuvraj Menda in the spotlight. Set at a soirée, the song features relatable and romantic lyrics. Agastya Nanda’s guitar strumming adds to the romance with Suhana Khan and Khushi Kapoor, while other co-stars join the dance.

Talking about composing Va Va Voom Composers Shankar–Ehsaan–Loy jointly said, “The creative process behind this song was truly exciting. We wanted to create a number that would immediately compel one to hit the dance floor. Our composition, Tejas Menon’s vocals and Javed Akhtar’s lyrics all came together as a collaborative effort. Va Va Voom transports you back to the moody rock and roll era of the 1960s. We have effectively tried to capture the essence of that era and look forward to seeing the audience’s response to the song.”

The Archies’ director Zoya Akhtar also shed light on the song adding, “Va Va Voom is a classic Archie comic term. It’s a compliment to describe a girl he likes. A way of saying she is cool.”
