Childhood can be a fertile ground for creative minds. For rapper-singer Prabh Deep, that was not always the case. The neighbourhood of Delhi’s Tilak Nagar was very different from the urban locales of Mumbai, he tells us. Yet, his latest song, Thappad, harks back to childhood dreams of cartoons and comics through its visuals and lyrical concept.
Prabh Deep says he did not grow up around comic books, “But this song was born of high energy. It was a burst of action.” So, when the creative team were working on the visual concepts, the singer suggested going with a superhero comic feel. “It also takes off from the visual of the comic slap, which pops up in a bubble on the page,” he shares. The moment is often punctuation for the character on the panel. The result, in Prabh Deep’s case, was the arrival of the angry superhero, Thappad man in his first independent single in six years.
