about

The final single from Scottish-Indian protest musician Kapil Seshasayee's upcoming album about Bollywood, "Hill Station Epithet" is a celebration of the repurposing of hill stations as frequent venues for Bollywood song and dance numbers despite their exclusive origins within colonialism.

Kapil released a remixed version of this song in May 2021 as a collaboration with rap legend LIL B

lyrics

Why disguise your indictment of
My intention to fawn
Over hills and bridges
And if it’s concession at all
I’ll mark the fringes
And burn them all down

Revealed to be a tenet
You would run amok
All to feel indebted again
I admit it, I would interrupt
All because it happened to me once

Find instead, disaffected woe
You could only invoke
A discarded outpost
Corroded in disrepair
Established, in vogue
You’ll find it all there

Revealed to be a tenet
You would run amok
All to feel indebted again
I admit it, I would interrupt
All because it happened to me once
