[Harry.S]

It is for the first time in India that official versions of Micheal Jackson’s songs will be released giving his
music an India feel.

Two official song versions of the single Love Never Felt
So Good and Slave to the Rhythm will be available for
download and streaming by the third week of June. The
project within a week of its release is number one on
iTunes India and across all other major streaming
platforms.
Commenting on the association, KM executive director
Fathima Rafiq said, “It is a wonderful opportunity for
KM to be creating Indian-influenced covers of these
tracks from such a legendary musician. We hope to
capture the spirit and essence of Michael Jackson’s
music and infuse them with elements from different
Indian traditions to make new musical masterpieces
showing homage to his legacy.”
KM academic coordinator Adam Greig
added, ‘Although KM primarily teaches western and
Indian classical music, working on MJ’s music
demonstrates how connected popular music is with its
classical past tradition. The students are relishing the
chance to prove their mastery of these skills in re-
working these tracks. I find it amazing how easily and
naturally the Indian elements blend into the mix.”
