Neha Bhasin to roll out debut music album 'Tabah'

MUMBAI: After impressing the audience with her vocal skills in films, singer, writer and performer Neha Bhasin is all set to woo her fans with the launch of her solo debut music album titled 'Tabah' 

On coming up with her new album Bhasin said, "Tabaah is not just an album. It's consists of the two important facets of me, 'Neha the person' and 'Neha Bhasin the artiste'. It is all about opposites - black and the white, happy and sombre, demure the aggressive. The songs in this album are a journey from my bad breakup to finding self, to learning to let go, to learning to live again and that too gloriously. This album is just me and it's that part of that lives in every youth today....

The album is produced and composed by Gaurav Dayal who has also composed music for several Punjabi tracks including Jassi's evergreen club hit 'Dil Le Gai Kudi'. He is assisted by guest composer Saibal Basu. The album consists of nine tracks out of which six are written by the pop singer herself. "Writing has been my hobby since I was a child. Hence I decided to pen down lyrics for my album," revealed the husky voiced singer whose journey in the world of music kicked-off when she was just nine years old.

'Apple Bottoms' is the first single that will be going on air this October. International brand Reebok has collaborated with Bhasin to promote the track.

Being a Hip Hop track 'Apple Bottoms' is a beat driven song and the rap portion of this track is written by 'Abstract Method', two American rappers of Indian origin.

"Apple Bottoms is an uninhibited fun anthem for all those girls who love themselves! The swanky video is shot in Ukraine and exhibits my true spirit a performer," said the 'Kuch Khaas Hai' singer.

The singer said that her album caters to the sensibilities of today's young girls who belong to the age group of 12 to 35 years 

'Tabah' will be releasing around 15-16 October under New Delhi based boutique music label 'Beatfactory' owned by Bhasin and Dayal. The singer will be touring various parts of the country for promoting her album.

Though film music is the flavour of the day, Bhasin wants to explore genres beyond Bollywood. "I definitely wish to be an established singer in Bollywood as it gives me a vast platform to reach the Indian audience. But it doesn't stop here. I wish to become an international singer and tour the entire world with my music. Working in  Bollywood is like doing a job. You are paid and your work is done. But when you perform live and create your own album, the entire creativity is just yours. You own it," said Bhasin who was also honored with Vijay TV award for the best playback singer for her debut Tamil song 'Pesugiren Pesugiren' in 2007.

Talking about her upcoming projects she said, "I am currently recording a song for Vipul Shah's untitled film which stars actor John Abraham."

Recently, Bhasin also became the first Indian female singer to endorse Sennheiser, the leading German brand for audio equipments. The trio of Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, singer Lucky Ali and music director Sandeep Chowta are among the other endorsers of the brand.
