NEW & HOT: launch of Gujarati ghazals with Jagjit Singh

BIG Music signs 3 album deal with Jagjit Singh

BIG Music & Home Entertainment, the Reliance ADAG Venture has signed a three album deal with Jagjit Singh and with the launch of Gujarati ghazals, it has created a new dimension in the non-film language genre.

Says Jagjit Singh, “Poetry and music are not consTRAIned by any language. Instead, each language and region adds its own charm to both. I am happy that BIG Music has made an attempt highlighting the depth and range of Gujarati poetry. I am looking forward to many such interesting concepts with BIG Music.”

Kulmeet Makkar, CEO, BIG Music said, “We are thrilled at our association with Jagjit Singh. We were looking at doing something different in the music album market. And a Gujarati ghazal album looked exactly like the challenge we wanted. Jagjit ji’s presence just made our decision easier. This album is also special as this is the first in series of the albums we will be releasing with Jagjit Singh.”

Few people know that Jagjit Singh got his first break with a Gujarati Bhajan in ‘Bahuroopi’ movie, way back in 1966. And with ‘Jeevan Marann Chhe Ek’ he is completing a full circle of sorts. There are 8 melodious tracks in the album. The tone is relaxing and the underlying theme is of love and peace.The lyrics of the album are by the eminent Gujarati poet, Abbas Vasi “Mareez”. The ghazals are composed and sung by Jagjit Singh.
