Wrong Side: An Odia Road-Safety Song by XYR

Wrong Side is an Odia road-safety song by XYR, an independent Indian composer of original Odia & Hindi music. it's built as an Odia DJ / barajatri track, so it sounds like a party, but it says something real.

What is Wrong Side about?

driving on the wrong side of the road. everyone has seen it, plenty of people do it, and it gets people hurt. the song takes that everyday habit and puts it front and center, in Odia, over a beat you'd hear in a wedding procession.

the idea is simple: a message sticks better when people actually want to play it.
