The Pussycat Dolls, that vivacious all-girl American pop group that made men swoon and wonder with their raunchy song and video Don’t Cha, is apparently under our A R Rahman’s musical spell!
The Indian Golden Globe winner and Oscar nominee, who’s got the world standing up and saying Jai Ho to his music in Danny Boyle’s Slumdog Millionaire, is remixing the award-winning song for a single music video track by the Pussycat Dolls.
The original track features vocals by Sukhwinder Singh, Tanvi Shah and Mahalakshmi Iyer.
The Pussycat Dolls (made up of lead singer Nicole Scherzinger, Melody Thornton, Ashley Roberts, Jessica Sutta, Kimberly Wyatt, and Carmit Bachar) achieved worldwide success in 2005 with their album PCD and produced hits like Buttons and Stickwitu, the latter which earned the group a Grammy Award nomination.
Last year, they released their second studio album Doll Domination, which included the hits When I Grow Up and I Hate This Part.
Throughout their rise to fame, the group has been criticized for its overtly sexual image and explicit dance routines, but Rahman has apparently no issues working with them.
The track is being produced by American singer and record maker Polow da Don who has done albums with Will Smith, Fergie, Usher, Nelly, G-Unit and Mario.
A R Rahman has worked with U2, Dire Straits, Bruce Springsteen and Eminem in the past.
