"Jaan Meri", a music video album featuring Indian-American singer-producer Anuradha Palakurthi-Juju was launched globally Saturday.
The LP was released by the Boston-based Juju Productions, LLC at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Kresge Auditorium in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Ustad Nishat Khan, one of India's finest musicians and a virtuoso sitar player, has composed the album.
It consists of six songs, directed and filmed in locations spanning the globe, from Hollywood in Los Angeles to Mumbai, India to Baku in Azerbaijan.
Anuradha, who has performed many live music concerts with Bollywood singers such as Kumar Sanu and Bappi Lahiri across the US, said she was excited about the launch.
"On March 23, audiences can watch song-films made by great directors and teams in Mumbai, Hollywood and Baku, Azerbaijan. Be prepared to be surprised at some faces in the videos. Lyrics were penned by Mehboob Kotwal, Manoj Yadav, Bullesha and Boston's own evocative poetess, Sunayana Kachroo," the singer said in a statement.
