In an emotional and unexpected gesture, rising rapper-composer Paradox dropped a surprise track titled “Superstar” on Parmish Verma’s birthday — featuring none other than the Punjabi superstar himself. The song isn’t just a musical collaboration; it’s a deeply personal tribute from one artist to another, fueled by admiration and gratitude.
Celebrating Dreams and Dual Realities
“Superstar” tells a relatable, fictional story of two Indian dreamers: one, an aspiring artist chasing his passion, and the other, a devoted worker carrying the weight of family responsibilities. The visuals highlight this duality, reflecting the lives of many ordinary Indians trying to find balance between duty and desire. It’s a moving narrative that resonates well beyond the screen.
A Personal Note from Paradox
Speaking on the inspiration behind the song, Paradox shared,
“Parmish paaji has been one of my inspirations since day one. ‘Superstar’ is just my way of saying thank you. Honoured to share a track with him.”
Paradox’s admiration is visible not just in lyrics, but even in wardrobe choices—each shirt he wears in the video subtly references an iconic Parmish Verma song, a clever Easter egg for dedicated fans.
Parmish Verma’s Emotional Response
The tribute clearly struck a chord with Parmish Verma, who expressed his affection and appreciation for Paradox:
“I saw a piece of myself in Paradox — a heart full of dreams and eyes full of innocence. I love it when he’s around. The day I was making this song, I called him midway through producing it because I knew he was going to make it a complete 360° moment for me. In a way, I’m with myself in this video. Wishing him nothing but love and success.”
A Birthday Collaboration That’s Winning Hearts
With no prior announcement, “Superstar” dropped purely as a gesture of respect, admiration, and brotherhood. The authenticity behind the track has made it one of the most touching and original birthday tributes seen in recent memory.
“Superstar” is now streaming on all major platforms.
