New Delhi: The Royal Stag Barrel Select MTV Unplugged is back with the season 8 and will feature a unique and beautiful line up of soul stirring vocals and interesting musical orchestration by some of the musical geniuses including Diljit Dosanjh, Guru Randhawa, Benny Dayal, Jonita Gandhi, Shahid Malaya and Neeti Mohan, who will perform their favourite songs unplugged.
Sonu Nigam will be also back on the eighth season of Royal Stag Barrel Select MTV Unplugged to charm audiences with his soulful voice.
Speaking about the inspiration behind singing ghazal, Sonu on Saturday said that he wanted to give the younger generation a taste of the classic treasure to enable them to discover the beauty of the musical genre.
He further said, “We have tried to give a modern twist to these old songs, wrap it up in new attire and present it to the audience. We were deciding on the kind of songs we can incorporate in this episode. We discussed if I should sing my own songs or present some old classic numbers. We finally decided on ghazals. We were lucky enough to grow up with this kind of music, but today’s generation is not aware of it.”
Generally when we sing a song, we are told everything about how to sing and what to sing. But over here, we are free to sing what we want,” he added.
