He released his Album Xsuie some months ago, I was following him on Facebook. As soon as he released the album, it was uploaded on file sharing websites and torrents. I was actually anticipating this bold move by Lucky Ali and this indeed is a wise step, an artist cares about his audience. He doesn't torture or black mails them to buy his work. I mean he has guts, being a musician the life gets a bit difficult sometimes. You cannot always sing or create shit that production folks asks you to. In Western and European countries people are earning largely from concerts. The new tracks and albums are performed in concerts, how the heck are you going to pirate that? heh.
The Bangalore-based singer does not toe the line of most singers and music labels, which is also the reason why Ali started his own label. “I wanted to free from the bondage of music companies. Having my own label gives me creative freedom,” he says. The singer will also undertake grand multi-city road show concerts, covering 25 cities in India spaced over three months to popularise his album. “We will be generating revenue by the sales of the concert tickets and not by selling my album. Those who buy the tickets will be given a copy of my album,” says Ali, who has composed the music and penned lyrics of the album songs.
'My music should be free for all’
