Manasi Scott launches new album 'Manasi – The Ideal Woman'

Mumbai, Tuesday, 16th August 2016

Even before the release of her debut album ‘Naach Le’ in 2005, actress, singer, songwriter, performer and now director - Manasi Scott rose to fame and became a national sensation with her terrific live performances. At a time when remixes were the order of the day, Manasi’s originality and sheer power of vocals got her awards and recognition. She has performed in over 2000 shows across the world for which she has also received The Power List Award in 2016. Her performances go well with any occasion from launches, concerts, weddings and shows in any genre that makes her name synonymous with versatility. Her international dubstep single ‘High’ debuted on the European charts and climbed to no 1

A decade later, Manasi finally relents to her fans and releases her new album ‘Manasi – The Ideal Woman’. Her album resonates with her sensuality, her global appeal as an artist, her growth from singer to performer and exhaustive soundchecks to standing ovations. It celebrates both who she was and who she would ever be. An unadulterated and benevolent compilation of 6 songs heavily influenced by her performance and carefully selected collaborations. The songs are Todona, Chashni featuring Palash Sen, Farmaanaa featuring Ishq, Kho Gaye, Saawan Raagaa featuring flute by Raghav Sachar & Jamalo featuring Mika. Impactful lyrics for the album are delivered with co-writer Amitabh Bhattacharya. The album has been produced by Ashish Manchanda.

Asilo, one of India’s most luxurious alfresco and rooftop destinations was the perfect host for the album launch, which offered breath taking views of Mumbai’s skyline in an ambience that spelled chic, understated glamour and refined taste.
