"Anything
and everything that is playing on radio these days. I don't
really get much time to prepare a playlist and listen to my
favourite songs but yes there is 'Infinity' by Guru Josh that
is my hot favourite. It's a new song that just gets you instantly.
Besides that, I enjoy all the latest stuff that is on air on
radio."
Guru
Josh, whose real name is Paul Walden, was an original music
icon of the British post- acid house music scene in 1990. He
is most recognised for his debut single 'Infinity', initially
released in 1989 and later re released in 1990. In 2008, the
same song has been remixed for re-release. And this remixed
version seems to have made its way to Nadia's playlist this
time around!

"I'm listening to the RocknRolla soundtrack.
It is intense, really incredible and it's a combination of
hardcore punk and rock – tough as nails! I've been listening
to it everyday for the past ten days before I go to work.
Its fantastic and you must download it!
I'm also listening to the Shall We Dance soundtrack for tango
music and Buena Vista Social Club, which is Brazilian samba."
RocknRolla was directed and written by Guy
Ritchie last year. The film's soundtrack features music by
The Clash, Lou Reed, The Sonics and Black Strobes among others.
Buena Vista Social Club is an album made by Juan de Marcos
González and American guitarist Ry Cooder with Cuban
musicians. The album started a craze in the Western World
for Latin American music, particularly Cuban music.

"I'm listening to the Chand Taara Orchestra
these days. Babar Sheikh has been talking about it for two
years. It's world fusion music, totally my type with a desi
flavor to it though it isn't typically desi. And apart from
that, I'm back to listening to Sting - keeping it soft for
a change."
The Chand Taara Orchestra produce desi funk
mixed with fusion with three-band members - Babar Sheikh,
Rizwan and Geln John. And we all have heard of Sting - the
winner of sixteen Grammy Awards and an Oscar nominee for Best
Song. Sting has so far produced a huge number of hits including
'Desert Rose', 'Shape Of My Heart', 'Spread a Little Happiness'
and 'Fragile' among many others.

"It's
a pretty tough question. I am listening to a lot of good tracks
these days. But yes if you want me to be specific then A.R.
Rahman is in my playlist these days. I simply loved the soundtrack
of Slumdog Millionaire and my favourite is 'Jai Ho'. Besides,
Slumdog's soundtrack there is another song, 'Jiya Se Jiya',
and that is a Rahman production as well. I watched 'Jiya Se
Jiya' on TV, grabbed it and now I play is constantly in my
car. It's an absolutely amazing song!"
'Jai
Ho', sung by Sukhwinder Singh, is from Slumdog Millionaire,
for which Rahman won a Golden Globe and is nominated for an
Oscar. Rumour has it that Sukhwinder and A.R.Rahman will be
performing the track at the Academy Awards on February 22.
