Speaking about the album, Natasha Malhotra, vice president and general manager, Walt Disney Television International India, said, “We’re very excited about the unprecedented success of Ishaan’s music. Ishaan is the first locally produced musical for tweens on Indian television and the album will also be the first time that a television show’s music featuring original tracks will be launched. This initiative sets a new standard within the industry that we will continue to maintain and challenge. The album features some exceptionally talented artists whose rhythm and vocals are an absolute delight to hear.”
Says Dhruv Ghanekar, “Working on Ishaan music has been a fun and exciting experience. It’s been a pleasure to collaborate with some gifted young artists and bring Disney’s storytelling alive through the music.
“Ishaan has a big fan following and I’m sure these kids and their families will enjoy listening to the music on the album as much as they enjoyed watching it on the show” adds Anandh Ranganathan.
The songs on the album have a contemporary pop feel and range from fun-filled catchy tunes like “I’m the one”, to acoustic love ballads like “Jo Pyaar Ho Raha Hai”, to the fan favourite rock anthem, “Sapno ko awaz de”. There is also an extra special treat for the fans in the form of a bonus track titled ‘D.I.S.C.O’ by the king of disco himself, Bappi Lahiri.
