Ed Sheeran’s sophomore album, stylized as X but pronounced Multiply, will celebrate its official 10th anniversary in a few weeks, on June 21. But for the record that changed his life, largely solidifying his place in the pop ecosystem with “Thinking Out Loud” and “Photograph,” the singer and songwriter began the celebration early with a special performance at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center on Wednesday evening.
Sheeran, not one to ever take himself too seriously, spent the hours before the show riding around New York on bikes with the members of Laundry Day,...

Mumbai, Sep 9 (Ians) French producer-dj Feder has launched his new single titled Meghna, which is his version of nineties Bollywood hit, Ae ajnabi, originally composed by Ar Rahman for the Shah Rukh Khan-starrer Dil Se.
For Mani Rathnam's 1998 film "Dil Se", the song was recorded by Udit Narayan and Mahalaxmi Iyer. Feder discovered the song through a remix and instantly liked the original composition. He thought of creating a new version.
Paying an ode to the original, the track also borrows its title from the film's female protagonist Meghna, played by Manisha Koirala.
"I first heard this track while I was watching the American TV show 'Entourage', where 'Ae ajnabi' was sampled in. The remix had a more hip-hop vibe. Upon listening I decided to seek out the original and create my own interpretation of it," said Feder.
