Fast Track

Am’Nico,a UK-based Indian singer who has been rocking the charts as a popular voice in the underground music scene in the UK ,says,“The song is inspired from gilli danda— the traditional Indian village game. I was working on an album,Donasian – We Can Make It Better,the music of which was done by Rahman and my brother Mukhtar. I am glad he remembered me and called me to sing for such a prestigious project.”

The high-energy track in the film has an interesting prelude and opens with loud and rustic notes,that is fast-paced throughout. There is also a grand chorus and some heavy orchestration done by Rahman.

T he younger brother of the popular UK- based artiste Mukhtar Sahota,Am’Nico grew up listening to a lot of Punjabi music and to the likes of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan,Ghulam Ali and the Sabri brothers. Working with Rahman,he says,in an email interview from Wolverhampton ,was a fabulous experience. “He is always looking for new ideas. Since he is a workaholic,it isn’t easy keeping up with him. But he is very warm and encourages creativity. We recorded different parts of the song at separate locations. Despite this,he did a great job of putting everything together nicely. It’s a captivating track,” says Am’Nico,who had collaborated with Apache Indian on his previous album. After his Bollywood debut,he is now working on his next album,My Time,which will release this year end.
