    A remarkable, global union between uncompromising artists from the east and west is now a reality.

    Internationally celebrated artist, Sonu Nigam, who is reverently described as the ‘Michael Jackson of India’ by his millions of fans worldwide, and 11-time Grammy-nominated and Grammy-winning Producer/Engineer, Jason Goldstein, have come together to create a hit in the making, Hall Of Fame featuring MC Yogi.

     

    The single has been penned by hitmaker, Jim Beanz, with music creation by 6thSense, while the music has been produced by Jason Goldstein, one of the most in-demand hitmakers in the contemporary RnB/ Hip Hop scene, esteemed for his work with artists such as Beyonce, Jay Z, Michael Jackson, David Bowie, Rihanna Mary J. Blige, Jennifer Lopez, Ludacris and LL Cool J to name just a few. Goldstein's music paired with Nigam’s inimitable vocals give the song a modern dance vibe for global audiences. Hall of Fame will release worldwide on 20th October, as part of b2 Music’s second instalment in its genre-defining compilation album series, Billboard Presents Electric Asia.

     

    Speaking about the track, Sonu Nigam says, “How amazing and exciting to be included on the Billboard Presents Electric Asia album.There's no more fortunate a musician than me in this world, touch wood, who has received so much love worldwide for so long and life is still opening newer doors to my absolute astonishment. “Hall of Fame” is my best  ever English language single. I am really proud of it and my hope is to reach an audience around the world with this track, to share the excitement. It was a joy to work with artists such as MC Yogi and Grammy-winning engineer/ producer Jason Goldstein on this song. I am also thankful to my team from EEG Talent, Nick Rajsakha along with Prolific Media's RJ Bucaria, who put together this amazing collaboration from across the ocean along with the forward-thinking team from b2/ Billboard Records, Jonathan Serbin and Sean Dinsmore,and due to the teamwork, Jason and I were able co-create an innovative musical experience. Billboard, given its international reach and reputation, is a perfect home for this track.”
