There’s no stopping Rukja Baby
By Dharam Pal

LOOKING at Bobby Cash, one can easily imagine him exchanging blows with shifty characters. However, he is equally capable of crooning love songs under a damsel’s window.

Bobby CashAs a matter of fact, both facets of Bobby’s personality are true. Bobby’s got a passion for body-building and it is well known that he can sing. Bobby happens to be the only pop singer the country and western music. Delhi based Bobby has a faithful fan following — the restaurant where he performs on Thursdays remains jam-packed.

Jawahar Wattal, who has a sharp eye for spotting talent, happened to watch Bobby’s performance. Jawahar, well known for encouraging and nurturing fresh talent, offered Bobby a break. That resulted in a winning combination. This team work resulted in the album Rukja Baby. Bobby is the pop-icon of the younger generation and is the most happening Indian solo artist today. He has a unique personality, coupled with unusual charisma.

Bobby’s album comprises nine romantic pop songs, which reflect a whole range of emotions and moods. Meri Jaane Jaan is a haunting love ballad, which allows Bobby to explore various styles of music.

In Dhadke Dhadke he has peppered reggae with his unmistakeable Bhangra pop style. Those who are used to listening to Bobby’s western and country numbers will be pleasantly surprised to hear him tackle reggae with equal finesse.

So it doesn’t come as a surprise that the title track, Rukja Baby has a foot-stomping beat. Jawahar, who has given many hits, promises his best in Rukja Baby. Bobby and he have created a number which will keep discos busy for months.

Apart from the influence of Jawahar, Bobby acknowledges that his mother Jean Das, has been a great source of inspiration to him. Not only did she stand by Bobby in his lean times and believed in his talent, but she has also written lyrics for his songs.

Well, looks like there’s going to be no stopping Rukja Baby!back
