New Delhi: After previously collaborating on ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ filmmaker Tabrez Noorani and Grammy Award-winning composer A R Rahman have come back together for Noorani’s directorial debut ‘Love Sonia’.
Mr Rahman along with breakout artist Bishop Briggs will record new song entitled “I Am More” for the film. The song is penned by Rianjali.
It’s round two for director Tabrez and Rahman, the two have previously worked together for the film ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ (2008).
Rahman’s work gained him even more global prominence with the extraordinary success of his score for the film.
Rahman will create the song along with young American-British singer Bishop Briggs who is best known for her popular single River.
“I have known Tabrez since ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ and then we went on to work on a couple of other projects. With this, he makes his directorial debut and I’m happy for him because projects like these happen with a lot of good intention to propel positive changes in the society,” Rahman said.
“It was a pleasure working with Tabrez, Academy nominated producer David and the talented artist Bishop Briggs for the song ‘I Am More’,” Rahman added.
“‘I Am More’ is truly magical and sung powerfully by Bishop Briggs. It’s a wonderful combination of AR’s Indian aethetics and the powerful voice of emerging international star, Bishop. Working with AR finally as a director was such an enriching experience, after hearing about various Directors talk about what it was like to work with him,” Tabrez said.
“He is truly a genius, understated, humble and so sensitive when it comes to representing the matter of the film. It was a truly unique experience to work with both AR, Bishop and Rianjali who wrote a truly beautiful song. I can’t wait for people to hear it,” Tabrez added. (UNI)
