Salim-Sulaiman says “Collaborating with the leading lady of music, Lady Gaga, for the hit song ‘Born This Way’ was initially challenging as we only knew that she was looking at reaching out to Indians worldwide by choosing to work with us. And so, we infused the song with a strong bollywood beat in a signature Salim Sulaiman style while retaining the songs original flavor. The acceptance was huge and even voted as the best version of ‘Born This Way’ by LA Times. We are honored that it has been included on the album for India. It was after this that Lady Gaga wanted us to work on the song ‘Judas’. This time around we were more experimental. We infused the song with Rajasthani vocals & the Sarangi and once again we are overwhelmed by the response! The `Lady Gaga Wall Of Fame’ is another opportunity we just could not miss being part of as it’s a great idea from Universal Music India to showcase her artistic and creative side to her fans through her imagery.”
To celebrate the success of Lady Gaga’s latest album Born This Way, Universal Music India has unveiled the ‘The Lady Gaga Wall of Fame’ at Planet M, Shoppers Stop, Andheri, where fans are treated to some of Lady Gaga’s most visually impactful photographs… catching her in classic Gaga moments!
The gallery was inaugurated by popular Bollywood Music Directors Salim-Sulaiman who have officially remixed two tracks from Gaga’s new album – “Born This Way” and “Judas”.
The Lady Gaga Wall of Fame is a unique opportunity for all Lady Gaga fans here to check out their idol in all her glory. The presence of Lady Gaga was felt as her music, merchandise, concert videos and interviews were showcased at the event.
Sunil D’Sa, Vice-President Marketing, Universal Music India, added ‘Lady Gaga is simply a phenomenon in the world of music today and the response to her new album is only proof to that. And what’s really special about her is that she is not just a great musician, but a tremendous `live’ performer, a fashion icon as well as a philanthropist. We are proud to be associated with an artiste like Gaga who has a Global appeal and the
Lady Gaga Wall Of Fame
is an attempt on our part at Universal Music India to give her huge fan following in India something more than just her new album.”
