Mumbai: After an epic performance in the IPL, Chris Gale is exploring the music video space with “Oh Fatima”, his first collaboration with singer-songwriter and music composer Arko Pravo Mukherjee.
The swashbuckling Jamaican batsman and IPL heavyweight was ecstatic to respond to “Oh Fatima” as he expressed his desire to start a Bollywood career with Deepika Padukone (no less than!).
According to its makers, “Oh Fatima” is a unique collaboration between two styles from two regions of the world. The energetic breezy song fuses Indian and Jamaican musical styles, and the result is a “drowsy, energizing track”.
The song was crooned, written and composed by Arko and Chris Gayle, and directed by Rammjii Gulatii. It also invited artist Karina Karra from Uzbekistan.
In the music video, Arko and Gail, better known as “The Boss of the Universe”, take you on a tour of the UAE with Fatima and friends.
Speaking at the song launch on Monday night, Gail said: “My work in India and the IPL has been unforgettable, (my) natural love of music and singing is done with ‘Oh Fatima’. The location, great partnership and super collaboration with Arko and team will be a treat for people around the globe”
Arko added: “Our aim is to bring the Indian music industry to a global platform. ‘Oh Fatima’ is the embodiment of that aspiration. Chris Gayle is a global icon; The cricket ground and his music resonate.”
So, where does Gale plan to go from here? “If I can get any music album in Bollywood in the future, I am willing to perform with Deepika Padukone,” he said. Will it be as easy as hitting a six that lands in the stands? Well, only time will tell.
The song has been aired on Arko’s official channel.
