Part 1SONU NIIGAAM, who is working on an English album, tells ANKIT AJMERA that he believes in reinventing himself and experimenting with different genres of musicSonu Nigam seems to be a very busy man. After completing three solo albums this year — Classically Mild, Rafi Resurrected and Maha Ganesha — he is now working on an English pop album.

Recently he also performed with Indian sitar funk Niladri Kumar and renowned jazz pianist Jean Francois Maljean. It was for the first time the three artists performed together in India. Their music was an amalgamation of Indian classical, jazz and pop.Sonuji - “It’s been raining films but I haven’t decided which ones to pick.

Concerts are keeping me busy presently and I am finding it hard to find time for the second video of my album Classically Mild. I can’t talk about my English album though,” he says. The English album is titled Spirit Unfolding and will be a fusion of English and Eastern tunes. It is likely to be released by March next year.

Sonu believes in reinventing himself and experimenting with different styles of music. “For me variety is the spice of life. If you remember I started with Accha Sila Diya in Bewafa Sanam and gradually moved to making better music,” he says.

Like his music, Sonu also believes in working with his looks. He is often seen donning a new look nowadays. He says, “I like to experiment with my looks. I believe if you are upgrading yourself in your work then it must reflect in your looks too.” Coming back to the English album, he says it was not a planned move. “I am not a meticulous planner and nothing is ever planned in my life. I grew listening to jazz and English pop music and always wanted to make English songs. Now I just got the opportunity and so I am doing it,” he says.It’s been a long time since Sonu acted in any film. Is he doing anything on the acting front? “There are things in the pipeline but nothing has materialised yet,” he says. What does he think of a film like Rock On? Would he have liked to play one of the characters in the film? “I haven’t watched the film but my parents say it’s a superb movie. So I believe it must be good. If a role was offered to me in Rock On, I would have definitely done it. But it was never offered to me,” he says.
