Swaranjali presents “Saadgi” – An Album by Lata Mangeshkar & Javed Akhtar

The Queen of melody has come out of her cocoon to engage us in conversation in the language she knows best - the Language of Music. Lata Mangeshkar has released an album after nearly 17 years. This album ' Saadgi ', which is a T-Series presentation, is a reflection of the great persona that she is. It guilelessly serenades from one geet to another, reflecting the tranquil depths of the singer. The Ghazal-like compositions have mostly been been penned by Javed Akhtar and the music has been composed by Mayuresh Pai.

The Music Launch of 'Saadgi ' that was held at 'The Club ' was a short and sweet affair where the Chief Guest was Shri. Jagjit Singh, with whom Lataji had last released an album 17 years back. With the event held late in the afternoon, followed by hi-tea, it was a relaxed atmosphere with Lataji being vocal about her feelings, the album and her plans for the future.

T-Series, who is releasing this album, considers this an honor and are pulling out at all stops to make this a grand success. When Bhushan Kumar, the Chairman and Managing Director of T-Series, came to know about the album, he was quite insistent that T-Series be a part of the album. "As the premiere music company, we would have been incomplete if we hadn't been able to contribute to Lataji's album. We consider this association an honor and want to be an integral part of "Saadgi".
