Bappi Lahiri Music director on roping in Whitney Houston for his Bollywood film.
Is it true that Whitney Houston will soon be lending her voice for your film?
Yes, if all goes well (laughs). She asked me to send her some of my tracks to select from. As soon as she finalises one, I will be flying down to Los Angeles to finalise the project.
First Samantha Fox, then Boy George, Apache Indian and now Whitney Houston...
There are many artists I would like to work with. I really like Whitney's voice and I know that she can do justice to my melodies, as did Apache and Samantha. I think, the track decides it's own artiste.
So, are the associations pure ly professional?
To be honest, I have known these guys for quite some time now and we are also friends apart from being professionals. We all respect each other's music and our association with each other stems out of our common love for music.
Is there anything special that you keep in mind while composing for international artists?
Not really. When I create music, I only concentrate on the melody and rhythm. The basic beats of music remain the same universally.
The language and the melody may differ, but a singer who can feel the music, is not bothered about geographical boundaries or language barriers.
