Armaan Malik becomes the first Indian to be featured on the Spotify Times Square billboard

Worldwide release: Armaan Malik has made his country proud by becoming the first Indian singer-songwriter to be featured on the prestigious Spotify Times Square Billboard in New York City for his latest English debut ‘Control’.

One of the select few Indian music artists to make such a significant impact, Armaan has reached this milestone at just the age of 24.

This speaks volumes about Armaan’s popularity all around the world, as millions of his fans continue to flock to social media to shower praise on the singer for his new journey. ‘Control’ also charted as the #1 track on iTunes in India.

Overwhelmed by the response to his first English single, Armaan mentions, “It’s a huge honor for an Indian artist to be on a Times Square billboard. I’ve always wanted to take India to the world with my music and this is like a dream come true, especially for my first English single. This wouldn’t have been possible without my amazing team, family, and my fans and their endless love and support.”

After seven years of massive success in India and singing more than 150 songs in almost a dozen different languages, Armaan decided to finally give his dreams a go and began writing English music. Malik forayed into the global music circuit with one of the most successful music executives in the industry, David Massey and signed his debut single, ‘Control’ with Arista Records (Sony Music Global).

About ‘Control’:

Control is an uptempo track that describes the push and pull feeling of being trapped in a controlling relationship and how confusing it can be to want in but also want out. It’s inspired by relationships that the singer-songwriter has seen around him. It was recorded in Los Angeles with producer Wayne Wilkins, who has worked with the likes of Beyoncé and Natasha Bedingfield.
