MUMBAI: It’s been barely two years since the hot and bubbly Evelyn Sharma made her Bollywood debut. And in this little time, she has already done half a dozen films, with three more to come in the next one year. And now, the German model-turned-actress has ventured into the singing arena with her international debut song ‘Something Beautiful’.
“I’m very excited as singing is something I have always been passionate about. I would sing casually all the time but never imagined actually having to work on a collaboration for an international album,” Evelyn said in a statement.
“The whole experience of recording the song, shooting the music video was very exciting. Now I hope that when the song comes out in a few weeks people fall in love with it,” she added.
But news is that Evelyn’s song is not indie-pop in nature; instead it’s a part of the alternative genre – less commercial and more music. Evelyn’s song speaks about herself and her journey and is meant to be a motivation for others to believe in themselves. The actress has not just lent her voice to the song titled ‘Something beautiful…’, but also penned it.
It’s said that it was Evelyn’s friends who encouraged her to consider singing commercially, and it all fell into place when she got a chance via Indian American rapper, Brooklyn Shanti for an album, whom she met on the sets of ‘From Sydney With Love’. Brooklyn had composed music for the film.
The actress is playing the lead lady in a crime thriller Daank and Sunny Deol and Arshad Warsi starrer comedy Bhaiyyaji Superhit. She recently stated she is deliberately turning down offers of glamorous roles and item numbers to focus on performance-oriented roles.
The video of the album has been shot in New York. Evelyn, who, as a teen used to sing for her church choir, will be seen sporting designer gowns in the music video.
