Nevada (US), June 25 (ANI): MusicBizPro today announced the worldwide digital release of two singles composed by India’s very own “Disco King” Bappi Lahiri, dedicated in the honor of King of Pop, late Michael Jackson.
The tracks, which feature vocals from Michael Jackson’s very own backup singers Ricky Nelson, Terry Young and Glenda, are titled “Don’t Say Goodbye” and “Michael O’ Michael” (a remix).
Planet M, Phoenix Mills, Mumbai hosted a launch party late evening for the release, which featured a live performance by Bappi Lahiri.
“Michael O’ Michael” has an infectious groove which makes you want to shake a leg. But that’s not all - Bappi Lahiri has even rendered his own version of Michael Jackson’s trademark squeal.
“The soulful rendition on “Don’t Say Goodbye” is sure to touch the hearts of millions of Jackson fans across the world. A perfect example of East meets West, this track melts R&B and Soul with Classical Indian overtones. Not only that, Bappi sings the chorus in Hindi which re-emphasizes the impact Michael created on all of us, world over,” said Neli Kools, CEO, MusicBizPro, on the occasion of the launch.
Michael Jackson’s millions of Indian fans across the world will be able to instantly relate to Bappi’s inimitable voice and composition along with the mesmerizing recitals from international yoga teacher, Rajashree Chaudhary featured in the tracks. (ANI)
