Actress-singer Aditi Saigal Opens Up About Her Latest Single 'Girls Night' and Debut Film 'The Archies'

Rising star Aditi Saigal, known as Dot from the Netflix film "The Archies," is back with her latest single, "Girls Night." The infectious track celebrates the power of female friendship and the joy of shared experiences.

Inspiration from Real Life:

Saigal draws inspiration for "Girls Night" from her own close friends. "It's about two of my closest friends," she shared. "We have the best, most intelligent and empathetic conversations. We laugh, we're sensitive, we can be rowdy, we talk about boys, and we sometimes don't know what it is we're feeling - but we do it together and that makes life a little easier. The song tries to reflect that kind of friendship."

Musical Evolution:

"Girls Night" marks a musical leap forward for Dot, showcasing a sunny Motown-infused jazz-pop vibe. This collaboration with Welsh singles label "The Playbook" builds on the success of their previous single, "Indigo." "It's a match made in heaven," Dot says. "The Playbook guys have a sophisticated understanding of the kind of electronic production elements that work for my music. Between Playbook, James (Gair), and I, we've worked out a healthy push and pull between pop and jazz, resulting in something layered and also fun to listen to."

Fond Memories of "The Archies":

Dot's debut acting role in "The Archies" remains a cherished experience. "It was such a crazy experience," she reflects. "I've never worked at such a large-scale project with so many different team members coming together and the work being so detailed and so well-researched. Zoya (Akhtar) nurtured all seven of us from start to finish."

"I learned how to dance and how to skate, and I think those skills are always going to stay with me. So it was a very special debut."

Beyond "The Archies":

"Girls Night" is just the beginning for Dot. With her infectious energy and talent, she's poised to make a lasting impact on the music scene. Keep an eye on this rising star!
