00:00I think my name spells quality.
00:03I need to trust everyone.
00:06The message of Aum is this.
00:09Aum is basically the birth of sound.
00:12I do not see it as a religious chant.
00:15I believe in myself.
00:17I trust myself.
00:19What do you think about this album?
00:25This new album is Aum.
00:28Aum Antaraatma.
00:30And with this message,
00:34I would like to say that
00:36I felt the sound of Aum.
00:41I made a song on it.
00:44Aum Antaraatma is my mind.
00:48What did you think about it?
00:51It was a story?
00:54It was not a story.
00:56It was a story.
00:58But I go to Aum.
01:00I study Aum.
01:02And I always thought that
01:04it was a blessing.
01:06Why would it be a new idea?
01:08In a pop style,
01:10everyone would like.
01:12Everyone would like to sing a song.
01:14Everyone would like to sing a song.
01:16What is happening?
01:18I would like to sing a song.
01:20I would like to sing a song.
01:22I would like to sing a song.
01:24I would like to sing a song.
01:26The message of Aum is this.
01:28What is the title of Aum?
01:30What is the title of Aum?
01:32What is the title of Aum?
01:34I wrote it myself.
01:36Is it a Bhajan album?
01:38No.
01:40I would like to sing a song in Bhajan style.
01:44But in a pop style,
01:46I have made it a new idea.
01:48Tell us something about your time with EMI International.
01:52What is the title of Aum?
01:54When I was living in London,
01:56I got involved with a new company.
02:00And the manager and management
02:02had the entire contract.
02:06And they wanted to come to India.
02:08They wanted to start a new level of EMI.
02:12So they thought
02:14why would we ask Alisha?
02:16Because she has had such a big success
02:18with Made in India.
02:20So we will launch a new album with EMI.
02:24And also launch a new album with EMI.
02:26How many songs have you in this album?
02:28Art.
02:29How many songs have you in this album?
02:31What is the music?
02:32The producer of Rajesh Chhaveri is Rajesh Chhaveri,
02:34who has made my first album,
02:37such as Baby Doll, Alisha,
02:39and many others.
02:41And I thought,
02:43if we have made a new album,
02:46it will be really good.
02:48And it has made a very good album.
02:50Very, very nice.
02:52Very good songs.
02:54How many songs have you in this album?
02:56Now it's only two.
02:58Aum and Leila.
03:00This is the third song.
03:02And I want to go to another song.
03:05How many songs have you in this album?
03:07What is the song?
03:09How many songs have you in this album?
03:10Aum, we had a bit of shooting here in a studio.
03:15And the rest of it was in Thailand.
03:17There were temples and other people.
03:21With the Buddhist monks.
03:23And with Indian classical dance.
03:25We made a video.
03:27And then,
03:28we went to Shahrja and Dubai.
03:32So, it was really good in those locations.
03:35Because there were people in traditional costumes.
03:40And then,
03:41we made a picture of everything.
03:42We made a picture of everything.
03:43What are the directors?
03:44The producer of the album, Rajesh Chhaveri,
03:49is also the director of the album.
03:51So, these two videos have made it the first time.
03:53And they have made it very good.
03:55Do you think Aum?
03:57Do you think that it represents the community?
04:02Do you think something is in your mind?
04:06I don't think about it.
04:09Because Aum is basically the birth of sound.
04:14I do not see it as a religious chant.
04:17Just as a religious chant.
04:19It has become.
04:20It is always chant in the mandirs.
04:24But,
04:25I wanted to present it as Aum, the birth of sound.
04:32You know.
04:33The first sound of a man,
04:36is Aum.
04:38And,
04:39I want to change it.
04:41Not from the religious aspect.
04:43Or the religious angle at all.
04:45It is basically talking about the inner voice.
04:49So,
04:50our inner soul.
04:51We feel it.
04:52We feel it.
04:53We feel it.
04:54We feel it.
04:55We feel it.
04:56We feel it.
04:57So,
04:58only one song is Aum.
04:59Yes.
05:00We feel it.
05:01We feel it.
05:02We feel it.
05:03We feel it.
05:04We feel it.
05:05Aum.
05:06Let's dance.
05:07Then,
05:08Laila.
05:09Then,
05:10Eli.
05:11And,
05:12the other side.
05:13The romantic side.
05:14All of the slow melodies.
05:16We feel it.
05:17And,
05:18the last song is Babul Mora.
05:19It is a 100-year-old song.
05:22It was written by Wajid Ali Shah.
05:25And,
05:26KL Seigal.
05:27It was a song that was popular.
05:31And,
05:32after that,
05:33I tried to sing it.
05:37So,
05:38there are so many pop albums.
05:42How will you distinguish your album from the quote of Alistair?
05:47Well,
05:48I think,
05:49After Made in India,
05:50it has become a niche.
05:52And,
05:53people know that when Alisha's album,
05:56it will be good.
05:58And,
05:59I also know that there are a lot of expectations.
06:03So,
06:04I have worked very hard.
06:06I have worked very hard for it.
06:08You know.
06:09It has become an image.
06:10Baby doll,
06:11Made in India.
06:12Aaj Om.
06:14So,
06:15how would you maintain your image?
06:17I think,
06:19my name spells quality.
06:21So,
06:22it doesn't matter whether my album is called Baby Doll,
06:24whether it's called Aalisha,
06:25whether it's Made in India,
06:26or Om.
06:27I mean,
06:28I mean,
06:29there are changes in life.
06:31And,
06:32I have changed also.
06:33But,
06:34ultimately,
06:35it's like,
06:36Alisha,
06:37will have something,
06:38of quality.
06:39There will be good music on it.
06:40That is the bottom line.
06:41And,
06:42what are your plans for promoting it?
06:44For promoting it?
06:45Well,
06:46the videos are very good.
06:47And,
06:48I mean,
06:49ultimately,
06:50it's the people who buy it.
06:51people who buy it.
06:52They also know it.
06:53And,
06:54they will recognize it.
06:55They don't want to buy it.
06:56They don't like it.
06:57Do you believe in Om?
06:59Yes,
07:00absolutely.
07:01I believe in myself.
07:02I believe in myself.
07:03I believe in myself.
07:04I believe in myself.
07:05I believe in myself.
07:06That's why I wrote this song.
07:07All right.
07:08Oh,
07:09as a trendsetter,
07:11I believe in myself.
07:12Is it a trendsetter?
07:13Is it a trendsetter?
07:14Is it a trendsetter?
07:15Is it a trendsetter?
07:16Is it a trendsetter?
07:17Is it made in India?
07:18I think in both ways.
07:20Even the music is good.
07:22It's of course,
07:23a danceable thing.
07:25Not very slow
07:26and not very fast.
07:27I've tried to maintain
07:29a balance.
07:30The concept itself
07:31is very strong.
07:34And,
07:35I think it's the right time
07:36for people to become aware.
07:40Your personal feedback
07:41is very good.
07:43But,
07:45of course,
07:47Aum,
07:48I've written myself.
07:49That's why I really like it.
07:50But,
07:51Laila is a very good song.
07:52And,
07:53Tu Jo Mila
07:54is a very beautiful song.
07:56And,
07:57the most popular song
07:59is Babur Vara.
08:00Because,
08:01it's a very unusual style.
08:06I've sung it.
08:07It's a duet
08:09with El Subramaniam.
08:12It's a semi-classical song.
08:14It's a light classical song
08:16and very difficult.
08:17It's a very difficult song.
08:18It's a very difficult song.
08:19But,
08:20I've sung it.
08:23I've sung it.
08:24It's a very difficult song.
08:25It's a very difficult song.
08:26I've sung it.
08:27I've sung it for a few times.
08:28What do you need to sing?
08:30No need to sing.
08:32Just listen to it.
08:34I've been singing for a long time.
08:40What are the lyrics for this lyrics?
08:44The first one is
08:46My mind is my mind
08:48My mind is my mind
08:50My mind is my mind
08:52My mind is my mind
08:54And then
08:56The second one is
08:58My mind is my mind
09:00No one will go here
09:02My mind is my mind
09:04No one will go here
09:06Om Namah Shivaya
