STRONGER
After a few years away from the scene, the ‘First lady of Bhangra’ is
now back with her new album ‘STRONGER’. Released on the Moviebox music
label in March 2008, the album features 10 outstanding tracks produced by her legendary
father Channi Singh, the exceptional Rishi Rich, the talented Tejwant Kittu and
the gifted songstress herself.
Music videos for this album are presently being aired on all major Asian TV channels.
A medley of the smash-hit track ‘Chiti Chiti Chan Di E’ and ‘Ki
Dasaan’ was filmed in Mumbai, whilst the romantic ballad ‘Rab Di Kasam’
was shot in Jaisalmer. Bollywood actor Kushal Punjabi of films ‘Lakshya’
and ‘Goal’ fame co-starred with Mona in the latter. The Alaap classic
‘Ponche Tang Pa Ke’ re-done in Mona’s own style was shot in Dubai
along with the latest video release of the heartfelt ‘Bedarda’.
‘STRONGER’ has not only enjoyed the number 1 spot in the UK Asian music
charts, but also in India, where the album was recently released by SaReGaMa music
label (formerly HMV).
Displaying her great musical talent and versatility and featuring a great selection
of chart-busting tracks, this album caters for all audiences and is a definite must
have for all music lovers.
THE SECOND CHAPTER – KANKAAN DE OHLE
Mona released her much awaited follow up album ‘THE SECOND CHAPTER –
KANKAAN DE OHLE’ in August 2003. The album received great acclaim and was
a huge success. Again it was an international release and Mona had the opportunity
to shoot another video in Mumbai.
THE BEGINNING – AKHIYAAN VICH YAAR VASDA
In December 2000, Mona released her debut album ‘THE BEGINNING – AKHIYAAN
VICH YAAR VASDA’ which created a craze the world over and hit the number one
position in the UK charts. She accomplished something that not many UK based artists
have ever done before.
The album was released internationally; a first for a
UK based Asian newcomer. Not only was she the first to have an international release
but also the first newcomer to have a video shot in Mumbai and also be in it. With
her debut album, she definitely put her stamp on the industry as the ‘Princess
of Punjabi Pop’.
