In what promises to be a stellar collaboration, Bollywood playback singer Sonu Nigam has joined hands with the the Indo-American DJ KSHMR for a new single Underwater. The song released this Friday and is already ruling the charts. KSHMR had earlier announced the big news on his official Twitter account teasing fans with just a promo of the song.
Speaking about the song to the media, KSHMR said, "Underwater has a really beautiful story to it. When my friend from India, Aayushman Sinha met me in Amsterdam he asked me to find out my grandfather's favourite singer. My grandfather's answer was Sonu Nigam. It so happened that Aayushman knew him and arranged a meeting. This is when the idea of a collaboration cropped up. As destiny would have it, we caught up in the studio in August 2017 in Los Angeles and decided to work on a track that I had written two years ago. We finished the entire track in less than a day! This song is special, not only because it represents the start of my career as KSHMR but it is also a gift to my grandfather who has been so instrumental in both my personal and musical journey."
On the other hand, our very own master of music Sonu Nigam also opened on the same to Indian media and said, "Working with Niles has been such an enjoyable and effortless journey. I have always wanted to explore a collaboration with an international artist who imbibes homogenous sensibilities into his music and I found a perfect fit with Niles. And Niles is also blessed with a heart of gold that makes working with him a blissful experience. Looking forward to many more collaborations with him."
