“Enrique got nothing on you!”
The legendary veteran singer Usha Uthup has once again taken the internet by storm with her latest musical release.
She recently shared a brand new cover of the famous global anthem ‘Bailamos’ by the pop star Enrique Iglesias.
The 78-year-old artist continues to reinvent herself for a whole new generation of music lovers in India.
The singer took to her official Instagram account to announce the long-awaited release of this track.
She wrote in the caption: “It’s finally here… “Bailamos” (Cover) — a global classic, reimagined with a fresh new soul.
“Turn it up, feel the rhythm, and let the music take over.”
The accompanying video features Usha, decked out in her signature saree, surrounded by a talented live orchestra.
Listeners can find the full version of the song, which was also uploaded to her YouTube channel that day.
Her latest effort has received immense praise from social media users who are quite impressed by her deep voice.
One fan commented: “You are simply, so very fantabulously super awesome, Usha Ma’am.”
Another enthusiast said: “When Enrique came to India, he should’ve been in the audience for his own concert and let Usha Ji take over.”
Even the streaming service Gaana.com joined the conversation by stating: “Enrique got nothing on you!”
Some people even joked about whether Enrique would be able to perform her famous hit song ‘Ramba Ho’ with ease.
This playful question was raised when a user asked:
“But can Enrique sing Ramba Ho now?”
The original version of ‘Bailamos’ was a massive hit that topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart back in 1999.
It was initially a Spanish and English single from Enrique Iglesias that appeared on the album Cosas del Amor.
The song reached number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and the Spanish Singles Chart.
Usha Uthup is known for her willingness to experiment with various international genres and give them a desi twist.
A few years ago, she gained widespread attention for her soulful rendition of the Adele song titled ‘Skyfall.’
Her career has seen a remarkable resurgence lately because the younger generation is discovering her older musical catalogue.
In 2025, her hit song ‘Ramba Ho’ was featured in the movie Dhurandhar, which brought it back to life.
This use in a modern film gave the classic track a lot of renewed popularity among the youth today.
