International music labels and musicians are running after Indian musicians to cut albums with them, and we have none other than eleven-time Grammy Awards-winner Alicia Keys vouching for the fact.

“Indian music is all over now. Singers here (USA) and in Britain are clubbing with the Indian singers to cut an album with the feel of that soothing music. And yeah, people are liking this West-East collaboration,” Alicia told After Hrs in an interview.
