British Indian singer gives cheeky twist to Playboy
New Delhi May 5 (IANS) Playboy for many means the men s lifestyle magazine with a tuxedoed bunny head logo. But for British Indian singer Avina Shah it s the title of her latest song which has a "cheeky" twist.
Talking about her song "Playboy" Avina told IANS: "I wanted to come up with a bold and playful song especially after a long break from the industry. This inspired me to create ‘Playboy - the title is self-explanatory but it s got a cheeky twist - basically saying that ‘girls just wanna have fun! ."
"We are in a new era now where gender roles are equalizing and women are very much in charge of their lives…so it s in theme with that " added the artiste whose last single "Aao na (Come to me)" released in 2013.
"Playboy" was created in London and Mumbai.
"It s a fun and quirky retro style dance track. We wanted to do something totally different not what you would expect when you hear the word ‘Playboy !
"The song has one of those catchy choruses that sticks in your head for a while and we wanted to cater for all ages to let their hair down! I m playing a nerd in the video who ‘fancies my nerdy friend but he is just not interested in me until the very end " said the singer.
Hailing singer Rihanna she said: "I find Rihanna very intriguing. She is just so fiery and is never afraid to push the boundaries. Her songs always stand out and she has a natural charisma about her that keeps me engaged to see what she does next.
"Rihanna also launched a very successful range of beauty products and that is something I m also focusing on with my brand ‘Faces by Avina ."
