Swing My Way– Sohniye is a r’n’b track that will just tap into your emotions. It’s a feel-good song that I am sure will transport you to your nostalgia zone.

What inspired you to create this new track?

I have always been a rap and r’n’b artist. I would say this track has that smooth r’n’b, with a great British Asian kick to it.

Ultimately, my inspiration has always been my love for music.

Who are you hoping connects to this song?

I think my music has always been for everyone. It has good production and just a whole load of vibes, which will appeal to a wide audience.

I have made a lot of music that crosses genres and never fits into any boxes. So, compared to my other songs, this track is just another musical expression that is unique in its own way.

I have some bangers coming to everyone this year, with an album on the way too. I am looking forward to sharing the new music with everyone soon.

I am always pushing those barriers in music. There is something coming out later this year, which might be something that you don’t expect from me.

After all these years, what does music mean to you today?

Music isn’t just a passion for me; it’s my work too and work is always number one.

Is it fair to say that you are still a rule-breaker when it comes to music?

It’s something that I just do. I don’t see any barriers, just opportunities.

 Today, what is your greatest unfulfilled musical ambition?

A collaboration with Drake – now that would be sick.

What inspires you?

The people around me will always be an inspiration.

Harvey Weinstein asks court to speed up retrial amid health concerns

Harvey Weinstein, the disgraced Hollywood producer, pleaded with a New York court to move up his retrial for sex crimes, citing his poor health and the harsh conditions at Rikers Island jail, which he described as a "hellhole." During a hearing in Manhattan on Wednesday, Judge Curtis Farber set the trial date for April 15, but Weinstein, 72, argued he might not survive that long due to his deteriorating health.

Weinstein, who appeared in court in a wheelchair, told the judge he is battling multiple health issues, including cancer, diabetes, and heart problems. He emphasised that every day at Rikers is a struggle, calling the facility "medieval" and claiming he was recently given the wrong medication. "I can't hold on anymore. I want justice for myself and this to be over with," he said.

Ameesha Patel responds to marriage rumours with Salman Khan: "Finding the right partner is key"

Ameesha Patel recently addressed the curious questions from her fans about the possibility of her marrying Bollywood superstar Salman Khan. During a fun Twitter chat, Ameesha was asked about the idea of marriage, especially considering that both are still bachelors and, as the fans pointed out, “good-looking.” The actress laughed at the suggestion and shared her thoughts, acknowledging that people love seeing attractive individuals come together. She even joked that it was a “great reason” for fans to want her and Salman to tie the knot.

Ameesha recalled how after her iconic debut film Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai with Hrithik Roshan, fans were eager for the two to become a real-life couple. When Hrithik announced his marriage, many fans were left heartbroken, highlighting the way on-screen chemistry often sparks similar hopes for off-screen relationships. Ameesha further expressed her openness to marriage but humorously mentioned that finding the right partner has been a challenge.
