Actor Anushka Sen has teamed up with American producer Ken Lewis for her debut single, ‘Chameleon’, whose audio version was released on YouTube on Tuesday, November 18. Ken is a two-time Grammy Award winner and has worked with global artists including Taylor Swift, Kendrick Lamar and Kanye West.
Known for starring in the coming-of-age OTT series, Dil Dosti Dilemma (2024), Anushka recorded ‘Chameleon’ during her recent trip to the USA. The track is a lively blend of Lewis’ signature pop elements and Anushka’s energetic vocals.
Speaking about her debut as a singer Anushka said that ‘Chameleon’ came out from a “very personal space”. “The idea behind ‘Chameleon’ came from how I see myself as an artist and as a person, someone who adapts, grows, learns, and keeps discovering new sides of herself. I wanted the song to celebrate that freedom, the freedom to change your colours unapologetically. It’s empowering, it’s fun, and it’s honest. This is me showing a side of myself that I’ve never shown before,” she said in a statement.
She added, “Music has been part of my journey for a very long time, have always been inspired by my mother who has been someone I have learnt music and singing from since my childhood. Being a Bengali, it’s been inspiring for me to be able to immerse myself in different forms of art like dancing, singing and act. Through this new journey, I’ll be able to learn and merge everything and create something new”.
Before making her OTT debut with Dil Dosti Dilemma, Anushka featured in television shows such as Baalveer, Jhansi Ki Rani and Fear Factor: Khatron Ke Khiladi 11. She was last seen in the Amazon MX Player show, Kill Dill– The Heartbreak Club.
