BRITISH ASIAN FEMALE RAPPER RELEASES LONG AWAITED SOLO ALBUM COMBINING CLASSICAL INDIAN MUSIC WITH NEW AGE HIP HOP.


Hailing from Birmingham City, Hard Kaur has worked on her music independently and also featured on global club hits including ‘Glassy’. Her adventures with a mic in 2007 are in celebration of the release of her premiere debut SOLO album ‘SupaWoman’ on which she unleashes her fierce and devastating lyrical prowess with 11 tracks and releasing on the illustrious Saragama label.

Hard Kaur has finished co-writing with the Bollywood equivalent of triple Grammy Award winning producers Shakar, Ehsaan & Loy. The new track is the lead single for the new bollywood meets gangster flicks ‘Johnny Gadar’. She also wrote with the producers to release a star studded single for India’s first-ever national mass media campaign aimed at increasing awareness of HIV/Aids in the country. She is also a campaigner alongside fellow friend and founder of the Newham Asian Women’s Project Meera Syal, who celebrate 2 decades of fighting against domestic violence within the community.

Her debut album ‘SupaWoman’, a culmination of almost a year in the recording studio working with only the hottest and freshest international producers including 45 WAX, D-Boy, Urban, AC Burrell, Asif [Fusing Naked Beats] and Tigerstyle. The forthcoming album is a treasure trove brimming with club bangers ‘HYPE’, ‘MY GIRLS’ [feat. Lost Souljah, DJ Kayper, Sharifa and Sabrina] conscious hip hop tracks such as ‘SMILE’, love songs ‘Hey U’ and ‘MISSING YOU’ feat. Lane Gray. The reggae meets bhangra ‘SupaWoman’ featuring Cheshire Cat and the kitsch ‘BOMBAY DEEWANA’ have a sprinkling of Indian flavour.

The album also features cameos and skits by Meera Syal [Goodness Gracious Me] and UK Comedian Paul Chowdhury.

Hard Kaur is currently the MTV India’s artist of the month in October and will be presenting an award at this years star studded MTV India Style Awards 2007. She will also be performing live at this years famed Big V concert in India.

Saregama, the former Gramophone Co in India, was the premiere overseas branch of EMI. In its incredible 106 year history, the label has amassed almost 50% of all recorded music in India, a staggering achievement. Their UK division are now heading the sound of a new British Indian generation and developing Asian artists with Major label backing...something that has never been done before. This new album by the unparalleled British Asian Hip Hop artist, Hard Kaur is their first signing.

Her record company seems to have mis-spelled the word "super". Oh dear, all those copies they've now got to withdraw.

Unless it doesn't refer to a comic book character.

I don't really like her music

is it just me or does the Asian music scene appear to be a little repetitive with the stuff that is produced?
