Her covers of 'Flowers' and 'Skyfall' were amazing too. She really knows how to reimagine songs. I wish Bollywood would give her more original songs though. She's wasted on just covers.

Usha Uthup is a national treasure. 5 decades and she's still experimenting! That's the spirit of art. Bailamos with a desi touch is the crossover we needed. 🎵
