This one does and I hope the listeners do too.”

The ‘60s music adds a unique vibe, complemented by a talented team of musicians and lyricists. Our personal favourite has to be ‘Plum Pudding’ and we’re excited to see how audiences respond to it and our other songs.”
Composer, Singer, lyricist Ankur Tewar also shared his excitement on the full album release saying, “Working on this album has been an incredibly exciting and collaborative process. I had a blast creating music with a ’60s vibe and collaborating with talented artists spanning generations like Javed Akhtar Sir, Shankar–Ehsaan–Loy and Dot. As musicians, working with Zoya Akhtar was an enriching experience, her clear vision made the entire process quite seamless.”
The Archies album features collaborations with celebrated artists including lyricist Javed Akhtar and Dot, music composers Shankar–Ehsaan–Loy and singers like Arijit Singh, Ankur Tewari and The Islanders. The film’s music is now available on all streaming platforms and Sony Music's YouTube channel.
