Suryansh’s ‘O Beliya’ Blends Sufi Emotion & Hindustani Classical Music In A Soulful New Chapter

Mumbai, 7^th August 2026: Between the worlds of playback singing, music production and independent music, Suryansh is carving out a distinctive artistic identity. His latest composition, ‘O Beliya’, marks an intimate new chapter in that journey, bringing together Sufi-inspired emotion and the richness of Hindustani classical music. Released today, the song explores love, surrender and belonging through a deeply personal musical lens. Following his playback debut with ‘Baaja’ from Amar Singh Chamkila and collaborations with composers including A.R. Rahman and Mithoon, Suryansh brings his experience across multiple facets of music into a composition that feels both rooted and contemporary.

What makes O Beliya particularly compelling is that the song began with an emotion rather than a melody. Built around a quiet Sufi spirit, the composition gradually evolved into a reflective story about discovering comfort and belonging in another person. Its arrangement draws extensively from Hindustani classical traditions, featuring tabla, harmonium, bansuri and sitar alongside Indian melodic elements. Subtle touches of Western classical music add a cinematic dimension, while a key modulation during the antara mirrors the transformative nature of love. The musical shift becomes a metaphor for finding a new emotional home through another soul.

Suryansh’s connection with music began long before his work in playback and independent music. At just 12, an impromptu stage performance with acclaimed singer Richa Sharma, where he sang Billo Rani, became an important early moment in his journey. That experience eventually led him towards playback singing, production and arrangement. On O Beliya, his layered production is further enriched by musicians with strong industry credentials. Vignesh, Principal Violinist of A.R. Rahman’s Sunshine Orchestra, contributes violin, while producer Prashanth Venkat, who has worked with A.R. Rahman, adds bass. Together, their contributions deepen the song’s warmth and emotional texture. “‘O Beliya’ started with a feeling more than a melody”, says Suryansh. “I wanted to hold on to that quiet Sufi spirit while bringing together the sounds I have grown up loving. For me, the song is about finding home in another person that feeling of love, surrender and comfort when another soul becomes the place where you truly belong”, he added.

With O Beliya, Suryansh continues to explore the space between mainstream playback and independent artistry. His growing filmography includes projects such as Main Vaapas Aunga, Peddi, Chhaava, Maidaan and Vanvaas, alongside upcoming projects including Batwara 1947 and Ramayana. He has also been developing his independent voice through his debut EP Dooba Dooba and his work on the Telugu version of Tere Ishq Mein. Yet O Beliya feels particularly personal, allowing Suryansh to bring together his skills as a singer, composer, producer and arranger into one cohesive musical statement. In doing so, he demonstrates how Indian classical traditions and contemporary independent music can come together to tell a timeless story of love, surrender and finding home in another person.
