owling on different pitches was never difficult for Harbhajan Singh, aka the googly specialist or Bhajji, but his spell on a completely new pitch has made him nervous. Singh, who debuted as a singer with Ek Suneha has released his latest album Meri Maa under Venus label, which was launched in Chandigarh.
Besides the producer, director and lyricist of the album, Punjabi singer Satinder Sartaj was also present during the occasion.
Bhajji while unveiling the album said, "I can associate each and every word of the songs with my own life. As the name suggests, it's an album about the selfless love, care, affection and dedication of a mother. It is a tribute from me not just to my mother but to motherhood. I am nothing more than a bathroom singer but singing in this album is an apt example of making most of the opportunity given."
Bhajji's first song had a strong message for all those singers and lyricists who have taken the Punjabi language for granted. He says, "My earlier song was a message but this song is a dedication. I am a great fan of quality music and quality videos that reflect the rich culture and traditions of the land of five rivers and this, is my contribution towards it."
"Initially, Gurdass Mann was approached to sing the song but due to some personal reasons he could not lend his voice to the song and it was all after hearing the lyrics that I decided to take the risk," claims Singh.
Besides singing, Harbhajan has also appeared in the album video. While sharing his experience with Guardian20, Singh quips, "Facing the camera was nothing new to me as I have done various commercials, but this experience was really far-fetched. A commercial is not more than 30 seconds and you don't have to really memorise dialogues and act. But here, I had to sing, act and remain calm at the same time, which fuelled my nervousness."
Champak Jain, director of Venus Group said, "People do have their favourites and they would love to listen to the music of their favourite artists. We would try to explore the singing talents of other stars and will be more than happy to release it."
