King on collab with Alan Walker: It's fantastic to find a brother in an artiste; would love to work with him again

Hindustan Times19-05-2025
After musicians Nick Jonas, KSHMR and Jason Derulo, musician King recently collaborated with Alan Walker on a single. Talking about the experience of working with the Norwegian DJ on Story of a Bird, and his love for international collabs, King says, 'The best part about collaborating with international artistes is that we get to explore different sonic worlds. When the collaborator comes from a space outside of India, their ears are used to very different kind of musicality and the fun is to find my space for Indian melodies in these international sounding soundscapes.'
Though King didn't get to spend a lot of time with Alan Walker this time around and they were only busy working on the track, King already has his plans for the future sorted: 'It's fantastic to find a brother in an artiste who is inspiring. Next time he is in India, I will make sure we hang out more. I might take him around Delhi. I told Alan something not a lot of people know. I have always been a fan and I had worked on a Faded refix back in 2018 that I have not been able to play to him yet.'
Already hopeful for another collab with the world-leading DJ, King says working with him was a treat: 'This was one of the fastest projects I worked on. Alan's team was super hardworking, round the clock. It took me a day to come up with the writing.'
Earlier, King has collaborated with many international artistes including Nick Jonas, Jason Derulo, Gucci Mane and KSHMR, among others. He has also worked with Indian musicians Diljit Dosanjh and Yo Yo Honey Singh. Some of his most popular songs include Maan Meri Jaan, Tu Aake Dekh Le, Legends, Bumpa and Tu Jaane Na Piya, among others.

Each has its own unique flavors, impressive stunts, or unfathomable plots that are guaranteed to engage and entertain. Raid 2 (IMDb: 8.0) Raid 2, featuring Ajay Devgn and Riteish Deshmukh, is gripping Indian action thriller that continues the story of a valiant police officer battling crime and corruption. This film's intense action scenes and strong performances make it a mainstay of favorites among high-octane Bollywood thriller fans. Kung Fu Hustle (IMDb: 7.7) This film carries a rare mix of humor and heightened martial arts action. The film retains comic book logic, following a two-bit crook trying to bust into a dangerous gang when he stumbles onto secret martial arts masters in his old neighborhood. It features over-the-top fighting and plenty of laughs, amplifying the action and humor for primo entertainment. My Oxford Year (IMDb: 6.8) It is an overseas youth development domestic film. It tells the story of a young student studying abroad in Oxford. The student is a happy dream chaser, who struggles to adapt to a demanding new environment and a foreign culture while pursuing her studies in architecture. Though less action-oriented, the film has emotional depth, offering a coming-of-age tale with a little more than a flavor of personal growth. Extraction (IMDb: 6.7) This high-octane thriller shows off a dynamic performance by Chris Hemsworth as a black ops mercenary given the impossible job of rescuing a crime lord's son from a hostile city. Relentless action makes the film scarcely able to breathe, and while the direction lacks finesse, the movie compensates with sheer audacity. The Night Comes for Us (IMDb: 7.0) This film from Indonesia, an action spectacle, follows a triad enforcer who is torn between giving in to the triad and doing the right thing. It's known for its violence and the intricate choreography of that violence. Action movie aficionados are guaranteed a visceral experience that pushes the boundaries of action cinema.

Pb teacher celebrates linguistic diversity through children's songs

Ludhiana: In a heartwarming initiative that blends education with cultural harmony, a schoolteacher from Punjab has found a unique way to nurture linguistic respect among children. Karamjit Singh Grewal, who teaches at Govt Primary School, Khedi Jhamedi, has composed nearly 10 children's songs in as many Indian languages, an effort aimed at fostering diversity and tolerance. Influenced by his background in scouting and having friends from different parts of the country, Grewal believes language can play a powerful role in building bonds across communities. "The idea struck me that children should learn simple songs in different languages so that they feel connected with people from diverse cultural backgrounds," he says. In an age when urban youth often lean toward learning languages like Spanish or French, Grewal feels there is equal value in embracing vast linguistic richness closer home. "When we hear someone from another state speaking Punjabi, it feels heartwarming. They experience the same joy when we try speaking their language," he says, stressing the emotional connection language creates. So far, Grewal has successfully sung songs for children in Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Gujarati, Dogri, Bengali, Bodo, Assamese, Hindi, apart from mother-tongue Punjabi. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Last Chance: 80% Off This Artisan's Retirement Jewelry Sale The Heritage Journal Read More Undo "Languages are not just about words, they are windows to different cultures. That's why the subjects of the songs vary and are rooted in the traditions and stories of the regions they represent," he says. What makes this initiative particularly impactful is the way it creates bridges among children, even when comprehension is limited. "Children might not understand every word, but when they sing these songs, they would appreciate other languages as well," Grewal says. Grewal plans to expand the project further. His goal is to create videos of children's songs in 24 languages, ensuring that young learners across the country can access and enjoy them. "This is my small contribution to nurturing a generation that not only respects but also celebrates the cultural and linguistic differences," he said.
