Robbie Williams’ Bollywood song
Robbie Williams is to record a duet with a Bollywood singing legend.
Robbie will feature on a track on the new album of Indian megastar Asha Bhosle, 73. The LP is titled ‘Asha and Friends’, but it is not yet known what the name of the song is.
He is said to be very “excited” about working with the two-time Grammy Award nominee.
A source said: “Asha has already recorded her part of the song. Robbie was keen to work with her after she was nominated for a second time for a Grammy Award.”
Asha – whose career has spanned over six decades and has provided playback singing for over 925 Bollywood films – has previously collaborated with Boy George and REM frontman Michael Stipe.
In 1997, British band Cornershop paid tribute to the singer in their hit song ‘Brimful of Asha’.
In 2001, Nelly Furtado’s worldwide hit ‘I’m Like A Bird’ included a remix featuring Asha.
