“It’s not that I have got some foreign musicians to play on the album. I worked on the album for almost a year,” Lahiri says.
Speaking about the album, he says, “It’s a very original album- not like Jai Ho or Ringa Ringa. I have researched and created my own music, and I have done it for a great cause – which is to pass on the message of World Peace, Love & Harmony.”
“Today live music is very less, its all computers and softwares – you’ll be amazed to hear how Gerald Albright and Pt. Vishwamohan Bhatt have played on the album,” he adds
While Lahiri says it’s a original album, and ‘uninspired’, he wents on to say, “There is one song on the album ‘Give me love, love love – inspired from famous song De de pyaar de, pyaar de from the film Sharabi.”
Recorded at Rusk Studio, Los Angeles, the songs are written by Bappi Lahiri and Ishita Roonghta
It is also learnt that daugher Reema Lahiri has also sung on the album.
Among his upcoming releases, Lahiri is composing for a horror film Bachao, Dard-e-disco (in which he also acts, sings) and an upcoming film starring father-son duo of Mithun Chakraborty and Mimoh Chakraborty.
