Anything ARR does raises expectations among his fans all over the globe. The Academy Award winner is next collaborating with international pop star Michael Bolton for the latter's 21st album, titled 'Gems – The Duet Collection' that is set for release on June 21 this year.

The album will feature works by acclaimed songwriters, producers and musicians including Grammy Award Winning Country Super Group – Rascal Flatts, International Pop Superstar – Seal, Australian singing sensation – Delta Goodrem, the famed late vocalist Eva Cassidy and of course our very own, Oscar Award Winning Composer AR Rahman.

“It was an incredibly rewarding experience recording this album,” says Bolton. “The opportunity to work with legendary talent like David Foster, Dan Huff, AR Rahman and some absolute greatest singers and recording artists in the entire world was inspiring. I can’t wait to share the special music we all created with the world.”

“When I first met Michael, we got to talking about music, philosophy, the universe, and many things that we had in common,” shares AR Rahman. “I wanted him to do a bit of singing that he’s never done before, without compromising on his musicality," shares the legend.
