Lata Mangeshkar launches new album Saadgi


Melody Queen Lata Mangeshkar launched her latest album Saadgi on the occasion of World Music Day on Thursday.

Most of these Ghazal-like compositions have been penned by Javed Akhtar, while the music has been composed by Mayuresh Pai. The music launch of Saadgi was a short and simple affair, where the Chief Guest was ghazal maestro Jagjit Singh , with whom Lata had last released an album 17 years back.
''The name Saadgi derives its origin from my conviction that it's the simple things in life that touch our heart. The songs talk about such circumstances that have touched everyone's life at some point or the other. I believe that it's destiny that played a role in this album,'' Lata said while speaking on the occasion.
The event also saw the presence of Usha Mangeshkar, Javed Akhtar, lyricist of the album, Suresh Wadkar, Music Director duo Anand Milind and model cum actor Khalid Siddique, who featured in the video of Saadgi and Chitra Singh, Jagjit Singh's wife.

The video also stars Mona Singh of Jassi Jaisi Koi Nahin and is directed by Anupam Sinha.
