Badshah remains one of the most popular artistes in Indian cinema today and he recently unveiled his latest song Kare Ja from his debut album.

BizAsiaLive.com caught up with Badshah to talk about the song.

You wrote, composed and sung Kare Ja. How long did it take you to write and compose it? Does this time vary with every song?
It took me precisely half an hour to make the whole song including the composition, production and everything. It was made back in the days so I have changed it sonically keeping in mind the norms of the present musical scenario. It varies with every song. Sometimes the song is made in half an hour, sometimes it takes me a month, sometimes 6 months, but it depends on that Eureka moment.

How would you describe the influences of the song?
There was actually no influence for this song. The only inspiration behind the song was just to entertain people, to make a good and catchy song and just do what I do the best.

When it comes to writing lyrics, where do you get your inspiration from?
Life itself. I just observe things and I just put them down on my songs over a few beats and try to make them rhyme that’s what it is.

You have Aastha Gill on the single. What was is like working with her?
Aastha is like family and we are also label mates. Previously as well we have done ‘Abhi toh party’ and ‘DJ wale babu’ in the past and it was a fun experience. She is a brilliant singer and performer.

Will there be more of Aastha on your album?
There is definitely a lot more of Aastha on my album. She has also got her own single coming out as well in the near future which features me on it as well.

What’s next for you?
There is a lot going on right now. I’m working on my next album O.N.E which is going to be out in March. There are a few Bollywood projects and there is also ‘Dil Hai Hindustani: Part 2’ and a few business ventures as well.
