AAAAAAAAAArrrrrrrrrrrggggggggghhhhhhhhh! Exactly, you guessed it, both albums have been further delayed! This is now just taking the piss out of the world wide fans in the Indian Music industry. Tigerstyle's album - Mystics, Martyrs & Maharajas is now delayed until the end of the first week of November 2008, I think!!! There is no exact date given as of yet for the delayed date! We all have been waiting for this album for ages, come on record label, do not let us down... Panjabi MC's Indian Timing album is now delayed until November 17th, 2008, since I have ordered directly from Panjabi MC himself. However, for his album delay, he is throwing the pre-ordered albums some freebies, hopefully a t-shirt or so and some mixes etc... Looking forward to the freebies and the extras.
Panjabi MC's album title hold truth to the Indian Music industry -- Indian Timing, which is never on time, and is hell bent over and taking the piss out of Indian music fans worldwide!
Anyways, just thought I would fill you all in. Until I receive my copies of both these albums, I will do an updated post letting you all know of the albums!
Cheers

Indian Music Alert! Jay Sean Signs with Major Record Label
Jay Sean is a Britain singer/songwriter from UK, and has worked with Rishi Rich and Juggy D. in the Indian Music industry, and has just signed onto - get this - Cash Money Records alongside Lil Wayne. I have taken an excerpt from Jay Sean's website with the exclusive news and is below:
Brit R&B star, Jay Sean is set to see his career rocket after being signed to one of the biggest labels in the US, Cash Money Records, the label that has made Lil Wayne the biggest rap star on the planet. The incredible deal sees Cash Money Records licence Jay Sean's recent album 'My Own Way' from Jayded Records for release in America. Jay's forthcoming albums will be released on Cash Money Records via Jayded Records. It's always been a dream for me to sign to an American label. And it's great to be accepted by the best in the game, says West Londoner, Jay. Jay has just returned from Miami where he signed the deal with the label. He then met the rest of the Cash Money family including Lil Wayne.'This is great news for British black music,' says Billy Grant, MD, from Jay's management company 2Point9. "Six years of hard work has really paid off. Jay has developed into a fantastic artist and this has been acknowledged by America's most successful record label" Former medical student has become a major player in the UK urban scene. Touch magazine described him as 'The UK's answer to Ne-Yo' while The Independent called him 'an urban legend in the making.'Jay will attend the European MTV awards in November. Lil Wayne has been nominated for the Best Hip Hop Award. Jay's album 'My Own Way' will be released in the States in Spring 2009.
WAY TO GO JAY SEAN, WAY TO REPRESENT INDIAN MUSIC TO THE WORLD AND TO THE MAX!!!!

Indian Music Artists Show/Concert Rates
Just decided to do a post on some Indian Music artists/singers that do live performances around the world here. I have enquired about the industry's most sought after artist - Lehmber Hussainpuri. He charges 5 lakhs Indian rupees ($12,500), plus return airfare from India which is another $2200 plus Visa/Embassy fees probably around $1000. Total cost will be around $15,000! Plus a live band + PA would cost around $2,000 at the bare minimum. I had enquired for a family function. As well, I enquired about Sardara Gill + live band, and DCS + live band. Sardara Gill is around 3600 UK pounds ($7500), and DCS is around the same as well.
The rates I received and quoted for was a family function. Instead I will stick with homeboy, local talent K.S. Makhan who is my Pindu (fellow villager back home in India).

Indian Music's Biggest News Yet - Jazzy Bains & Sukshinder Shinda Update
This just in (actually the news is around 3 weeks old now), from one of my sources, that there is a massive update on the breakthrough massive Indian Music Bhangra idols - Jazzy Bains & Sukshinder Shinda. The both of them are working on 2 projects!!! That's right, not just 1, BUT 2 projects!!! First one is a Religious album which is going to be cultural and will be great, since it has been a while since Jazzy B. released his religious album last. Next, is we can safely say - Collaborations Part 2 featuring Sukshinder Shinda, Jazzy Bains, and none other than Kuldip Manak, Nachhatar Gill & Rahat Fateh Ali Khan... This album will be strictly FOLK MUSIC which is given the utmost respect in the Indian Music industry. In my opinion, will be similar to Sarabjit Cheema's newest album Only Folk. This will be beat bumping insane album for the safekeeping. This second project will definitely be LEGENDARY! Can't wait?!

Tigerstyle's Album - Mystics, Martyrs & Maharajas - Indian Music's Most Awaited Album
Sorry for the delay in posting new posts on my blog here, however, due to hectic and crazy schedule, I am back once again, with none other than one of my favorite artists - Tigerstyle's new album titled Mystics, Martyrs & Maharajas. This highly anticipated album release will happen on October 20th, 2008 on Digital Downloads and on November 3rd, 2008 on CD release in UK and around the world!
After a long delay, Tigerstyle is back! The name of the album states it all - Mystics, Martyrs & Maharajas - one of the deadliest and catchiest album titles ever!!!
Some of the artists featured on this must have and must buy album are: Mangi Mahal, Labh Janjua, Lehmber Hussainpuri, Billa Bakshi, Gunjan, Surinder Shinda, Apache Indian, Kaka Bhainiawala, Sucha Rangila, Miss Rimpi, Amrik Babbal, Bill Singh, Bikram Singh, and Raghav!
One of the best tracks on this album has to be in my opinion, Maan Doabe Da - since I am from the Doaba side!!!
Anyways the track listing is as follows, and I will post up a review once I purchase the album!!!

Delay of Albums in the Indian Music Industry...
The Indian Music industry is on the uprising, however is losing big time points on the delays of the artists albums that are coming out. Indian Music record labels do press releases way in advance for hyping up projects and albums, and by the time the album comes out, it is like 2 years past the original press release date, and the hype of the album has all ready been killed and is over.
Moviebox UK is one of the largest record labels in the Indian Music industry, and is one of the violators of the Indian Music album delays. Case in point, Bally Jagpal & Bhota Jagpal's B21 album, of them two together, has been press released over and over again, and it has been at least 3-4 years of waiting, hearing new material, and then this material gets discarded. Bally Jagpal and Bhota Jagpal are one of the pioneer producers in the Indian Music industry, and deserve the album be released on time and marketed properly. Personally, I am a huge B21 fan of both Bally & Bhota and look forward to their release, although I have waited enough.
Albums should be given press release time with ample marketing opportunity, ONLY & ONLY IF AND when the album has been completed or is close to being completed and near its launch/release date.
Let's bind together, and hope and pray for on time releases in the Indian Music industry...
