The album clearly struck a chord for many, debuting at No. five seconds flat also has some big-name features, including a song with FINNEAS and another with Jacob Collier. The album, a 14-song narrative about the various stages of heartbreak, represents a big step in a new direction for McAlpine, who is branching out from her indie rock roots. The 22-year-old singer-songwriter is sitting right on the precipice of Top 40 radio fame, propelled by the success of her sophomore album, five seconds flat. However, IвЂ™m waiting for the right time and the right break, where the money is right as well.If you haven't heard of Lizzy McAlpine yet, get ready. My move to Bollywood has been in talks for a while.

Playlisting really helps all these independent artistes reach new set of audiences and an opportunity to get discovered.ДЄs one of the most popular rappers in India, do you wish to foray into Bollywood? Shoutout to Spotify for supporting not just me, but also several independent artistes. I am a huge fan of the user interface as well as the Spotify for Artist app where I find relevant resources and analytics. Even if I give them a song in the morning, they get it live by evening вЂ¦hahaha! I really appreciate all the support that the platform has been giving me, especially with the Bambai Bantai playlist and having me on the cover. How has your experience been releasing songs on Spotify? However, IвЂ™m very sure in the coming days we will have more users in India than in many other countries. Yes, there is definitely a gap, mostly because the Internet is still growing in our country. So, itвЂ™s a win-win for everyone.Дo you think there is a gap in popularity of popular audio streaming platforms like Spotify in India when compared to other countries?

Audio platforms also give a good payout to artistes, ultimately supporting them in their careers. Platforms such as Spotify make listening to music a very engaging, beautiful experience. Speaking of audio streaming platforms, they are everywhere. Yes, I did primarily focus on YouTube in the early days of my career, and I am grateful to the platform for supporting me in every way that they could. It doesnвЂ™t work like that.ДЄs you started your journey by releasing your music on YouTube, how important do you think are audio streaming platforms in this day and age? I think this is where a lot of people make mistakes, by dissing someone just for the views and fame. When I released diss tracks, I didnвЂ™t do that for fame, but to tell my part of the story. ItвЂ™s a good way to deliver your message out loud and clear. I think diss tracks are definitely a beautiful way to express your true feelings against a person or situation that has been unfair to you. What is your take on diss tracks in Desi hip-hop? Do you think itвЂ™s good for the culture? I have handpicked some of the best rappers IвЂ™ve ever come across, and I really believe that in a year from now the whole country will believe in them, inshallah! Who is the next big thing in Indian hip-hop?Д«antai Records is the next big thing in the Indian hip-hop scene. I am extremely excited for this album to drop. Next up is something I am working on day and night, my debut album вЂMalum Hai NaвЂ™. IвЂ™ve been listening to Macklemore since I was young, and I felt super proud to have him be a part of my song. He loved the song and our management teams connected to get everything ready for the grand moment. Macklemore really wanted to do a commercial number with an Indian artiste and thatвЂ™s when his team took вЂњFirse MachayengeвЂќ to him. How did the Macklemore collaboration come about? I just go with the flow, and whenever I feel like the time is right, I drop my music.
