SUPERSTAR SALMAN KHAN
UNVEILS THE ALBUM AT A PACKED MEDIA GATHERING
Universal Music India today launched eighteen year old Armaan Malik’s
self-titled debut music album – Armaan at the Taj Land’s End
hotel in Bandra, Mumbai. Bollywood superstar Salman Khan unveiled
the album along with Salim Merchant from the prolific Salim-Sulaiman
duo. The audience was also treated to a performance by Armaan whilst getting a
preview of his debut music video “Krazy Konnection” ft. Salim Merchant.
Many stalwarts of the music industry also attended showing their support of the
young star including his father – Daboo Malik, Alka Yagnik, Aditi Singh Sharma,
Suchitra Krishnamoorthy and film star Poonam Dhillon.
Produced
by Amal Malik – the elder sibling of Armaan, the album features seven original
tracks + one remix. The sound of the album is contemporary pop
encompassing the genres of EDM, R&B and Rock. Sure to strike a chord among club hoppers are the tracks “Krazy
Konnection” ft. Salim Merchant - an up-tempo dance track with an
infectious hook and the electro beat heavy “Roke Na Koi”.
Then there’s also the acoustic ballad “Leja Zakhm Tere” - written and
composed by Amal Malik and the romantic, pop / rock infused “Bas Is Pal”
. The album ends with a thumping `dub step’ version of the track “Krazy
Konnection”, this time with a hint of Indian classical.
Salman Khan said a few words during the launch of the album, applauding
Armaan saying, “He is one of the most enthusiastic young singers I know
along with his brother. To make melody comes from his father but the energy is
all them. He’s struck the right chords, the right feel”
Speaking on his
album release, Armaan said, “I would like to thank everyone at my
record label Universal Music Group India who believed in me and my music, and
have helped me along the way in bringing out my debut album. This album stands
for me, my world, and my beliefs and I’m very honoured to have Salim Merchant’s
guidance as my mentor and of course my brother Amal who has put in tremendous
hardwork in producing the album. I do hope you all enjoy the music as much as
I’ve had in putting it together”.
Speaking in
support of the young singer Salim Merchant said, “When I met Armaan
for the first time he was eight to nine years old, I really felt that he had
really got it in him. I fell in love with his honesty and I somewhere see in
them, my brother and me, I felt nostalgic.. He’s the future.”
Speaking on the
occasion, Sunil D’Sa, Vice President, Marketing – Universal Music India
said, “This is just the beginning of a long and exciting career ahead
for the 18-year old Armaan. Talent like him is rare to find and we at Universal
Music India are extremely proud to present his debut studio album which is a
