Punjabi sensation Karan Aujla releases an official remix of his hit single “Softly” by Grammy Award winning DJ and producer Tiësto.
The remix premiered at Etihad Park in the first after-race concert of this year’s Abu Dhabi Grand Prix where more than 20,000 fans gave the sound of approval - watch here.
Tiësto is one of the most recognizable and praised figures in electronic dance music. With an extensive catalogue, he’s landed a multitude of Billboard chart-topping hits and has received three Grammy nominations. Notably, his remix of John Legend’s “All Of Me (Tiësto's Birthday Treatment Remix)” won Best Remixed Recording, Non-Classical at the 2015 Grammy Awards.
“I came across this record that’s popping off in India right now and had to put my spin on a version for my live sets,” Tiësto says. “When Karan came to my recent show in Abu Dhabi, I invited him out on stage for a special surprise performance – it was absolutely epic! Seeing how much fans loved it we knew we needed to make it official!”
“It’s an honour to have Tiësto remix “Softly” and do what he does best,” Karan adds of the remix. “I hope my fans continue to make memories with this one and enjoy the single in a whole new way.”
“Softly” is the leading single that resonates with fans most from Karan Aujla’s second studio album, Making Memories. One of Bollywood’s biggest stars Vicky Kaushal shared a video of him dancing to the release on Instagram, sparking a viral reaction to the song. “Softly” has surpassed more than 250 million global streams, over 2 million user generated content creations and more than 20 billion views across social platforms.
Karan Aujla became the first Indian artist to cover Apple’s New Music Daily global playlist with an exclusive interview on the Zane Lowe show as Making Memories debuted at #3 on the Spotify Global Top Album Chart and hit #1 on Apple Music in India and Canada.
Making Memories has now surpassed 300 million streams and celebrates a new era of Punjabi music as Karan Aujla and executive producer Ikky portray the perfect fusion of western sounds and traditional Punjabi language.
