Pop star Lady Gaga has released a Bollywood inspired remix of her famous track “Born This Way,” produced by famous Indian music directors Salim and Sulaiman.
According to Desi Hits, the urban Desi version of the number one selling track, is attractive to the UK South Asian market. Created and produced by Culture Shock, the Indian version of the song fuses Bhangra with elements of Dub step and features both Lomaticc and Sunny Brown's vocals.
Gaga's manger, Troy Carter, tells Desi Hits, “We collaborated with Indian music producers from across the globe to show our respect and appreciation for our Desi fans and the music community. We're looking forward to more Desi collaborations in the near future.”
The Indian music director’s Salim and Sulaiman gained popularity in the Indian film industry after their mega hits in movies ‘Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi’ and ‘Fashion’. The music director Sulaiman says of this remix, “When we started working on "Born This Way" there was a feeling of excitement and a bit of nervousness. This was the number one track in 23 countries and to remix it and give it an Indian touch was something that we were very conscious about. The sitar was the instrument of choice for us when it came to creating a melodic riff. Of course there was the dholak and the dhol that always create the atmosphere of party and euphoria, but what really rocked it all was Salim's voice to add that Indian flavor.”
This is the first step Lady Gaga entered into the Indian market, and what a hot way to do it!
