'Blood, Sweat & Tears' follows Taj-E's smash hit debut release 'LOOKagain' and contains 9 original bass thumping, feet stompin’ tracks laced with electro-synth sound, hip-hop bass-lines, and distinctive Punjabi folk rhythms. His latest release positions him as one of freshest AND innovative Asian Urban AND Bhangra producers of the moment!
The huge international success of the track 'Rann Botal Wargi' featuring Mukki-G off his debut album ‘LOOKagain’ proved Taj-E has got what it takes to succeed in the industry and the ability to make an impact with Desi music like no other!!! After a whirlwind international tour and a major stint DJ-ing at the hottest parties in London, Taj-E began production on the album in early 2006 and, indeed, the work involved in its creation is truly a culmination of the young artist's 'Blood, Sweat & Tears'.
It’s not your average bhangra album, as the music combines music such as Arabic, hip-hop, R&B & Chinese all mixed with Bhangra. The album features the vocals of Gursewak Mann, BEE2, D. Arry and Mukki-G. The 10-track album has the distinctive Taj-E signature sound of raw Tumbi sound bytes coupled with funky beats as characterized by the track 'Gitiyan'. Taj-E does branch into ballad territory (yes, ladies he’s a crooner too!) with the dramatic orchestra sound of 'Sajna', a track that is guaranteed to demonstrate Taj-E’s versatility as a producer AND music director.
As Taj-E explains, "I feel the title of my work epitomizes the dedication and energy I have placed in bringing it into being. I strive to achieve a level of perfection that I'm happy with, so I am constantly picking my work to pieces and rebuilding until I have something that I'm feeling. My work is personal to me so I give it my all."
