Asha plans an RD surprise
Barely a few weeks after a Grammy nomination for her collaboration with the American band Kronos Quartet, Asha Bhosle is all set to pay another homage to Rahul Dev Burman. This is meant to commemorate the legendary Bollywood music composer's death anniversary on January 4.

"It's an album titled Real RD. It features 21 of RD Burman's choicest numbers -- mostly rendered by Asha, with a few duets where Sudesh Bhosle will accompany her," reveals a source from Sa Re Ga Ma, the music company that owns the copyrights for most of Asha Bhosle's and RD's movie soundtracks.

What makes Real RD special is that Asha will be re-interpreting the tracks, rendering the songs all over again to suit the techno-advancements in the new millennium.

The album will be released on January 4, followed by a series of promotional concerts by Bhosle -- all over the world.
