Christina Andrew Talks Music, Baby Do Die Do, and a Memorable Compliment from Huma Qureshi

With the recent release of Huma Qureshi’s ‘Baby Do Die Do’ winning appreciation for its poignant storytelling and vibrant soundtrack, two songs in particular, ‘Kaun Hai Woh’ and ‘Kitni Gardi Hai’, are making waves, following Christina Andrew’s recent Bollywood playback debut with ‘Pichhey Na Vekh’ from Heer Sara, starring Maanvi Gagroo and Patralekha. Audiences are thrilled to learn that the striking vocals behind these two contrasting tracks belong to the talented singer Christina Andrew, who showcases her impressive vocal range by effortlessly transitioning from a soulful melody to an edgy rap, making her one of the distinctive musical voices of the film.

While ‘Baby Do Die Do’ features a rich and varied 14-track soundtrack, ‘Kaun Hai Who’ and ‘Kitni Gardi Hai’ standout for the unique musical spaces they occupy within the film’s narrative, and the distinct moods each one adds to it. ‘Kaun Hai Woh’, sung by Christina Andrew alongside Mohit Chauhan, is a dreamy romantic ballad that beautifully complements the film’s monsoon backdrop, capturing the tender moments of love between Huma Qureshi and Rachit’s characters. In sharp contrast, ‘Kitni Gardi Hai’ is a gritty Mumbaiya rap that introduces Huma Qureshi’s character, Baby, reflecting the chaos, attitude, and pulse of city life. Raw in its tonality and rooted in authentic street flavour, the track brings a striking energy to the screen, making it a powerful counterpart to the album’s softer romantic offering. Christina Andrew brings fluidity, moving from quiet vulnerability in one song to a hip-hop-infused rap number that enhances the film’s gripping neo-noir atmosphere.

After receiving an overwhelming response for her songs in ‘Baby Do Die Do’, singer Christina shared with excitement, “I’m incredibly grateful for all the love that both ‘Kaun Hai Woh’ and ‘Kitni Gardi Hai’ have been receiving. It was an unexpected delight to receive Huma’s message after the songs were released, where she wrote that my voice was beautiful and thanked me for it. I was equally thrilled when Rachit shared that this was his first romantic song and he was grateful I had lent my voice to it. Receiving such kind words of appreciation feels truly special and extremely encouraging* As a singer, it’s deeply fulfilling to be a part of two songs that are so different in mood and style. From the softness and emotion of ‘Kaun Hai Woh’ to the raw energy of ‘Kitni Gardi Hai’, this film gave me the opportunity to explore two completely diverse musical spaces. My journey with composer Arjun Iyer began in the most unexpected way, he happened to discover my Instagram profile through a friend’s story. We collaborated on many projects since then, including the two songs for ‘Baby Do Die Do’. I’m thankful to him for placing his faith in my voice.”

Recalling her experience of working with Mohit Chauhan, she further added, “Working with Mohit Chauhan sir on ‘Kaun Hai Woh’ was a dream come true. I had admired him for years, so sharing a song with him, watching him record live, and interacting with him was an experience I’ll always cherish. ‘Kitni Gardi Hai’, on the other hand, challenged me in an entirely new way. It was one of the most challenging yet rewarding songs I’ve ever recorded. We recorded it multiple times to get the tonality and authentic Mumbaiya flavour just right, and even reworked parts of it just before its release because we wanted to do complete justice to the track. The passion and dedication of the entire team made every effort worthwhile.

Having sung professionally for over a decade, Christina Andrew now adds ‘Baby Do Die Do’ to her growing filmography with two distinctly different tracks, further cementing her versatility as a playback singer and marking another significant milestone in her musical journey. She is also a successful voice-over artist, worked with a leading radio station, lent her voice to numerous ad jingles, and earned four India Voice Fest Awards, before making her Bollywood playback debut with Pichhey Na Vekh from Heer Sara.
