April 14, 2015 India: Jackson Records Digital Entertainment LLP releases a new English music album “Cocktail” performed by Italian band Sushi Rain. After the success of their first music album, Sushi Rain prepared Cocktail during 2012 -14. By the end of 2014, the band entered into a contract with Jackson Records – the record label under JRDE LLP, India to release the album worldwide on the web and in India through physical, digital & mobile platforms.

The importance of Cocktail as an album is more than just music. It defines a new bond between two cultural entities – India & Italy. With the musically rich, 12 originals in the album, Sushi Rain and Jackson Records created a new liaison between the two countries, where culture can flow in both directions without a physical boundary. “The human race is connected by emotions and divided by borders. Music being one of the most significant modes of eternal communication between the species, it must be set free from all directions to carry the emotions along. ‘Cocktail’ is a step forward to strengthen that cultural exchange I have always spoken about in press meets over the past years. As far as this album is concerned, Cocktail is tasty, fun, interesting & awesome to the ears; a must grab for everyone“, says Utsav Bhanja, founder & managing partner at Jackson Records Digital Entertainment LLP.

“Italian pasta with Indian curry is surely a delicious combination. We are confident this mix will be just as soulful, spicy, innovative and cohesive as the combination of our cultures“, says Sushi Rain when asked about their venture with Jackson Records in the Indian music scene. With the buzz going around for quite some time about Cocktail, Sushi Rain’s original “Bunga Bunga” had already gained a decent audience; owing to which, Jackson Records decided to give out the track along with “One Last Night in Philadelphia” for free streaming and download from the web for all existing and yet-to-be fans of Sushi Rain. Driven by passion, love, life & humour, Sushi Rain has perfected their new album with the right kind of ingredients in music to make a fabulous Cocktail. While music and food form a major part of any region’s culture, Italian food is already a leading favorite of the Indian mass. Jackson Records did the job of filling up the gap with music from Sushi Rain, in the Indian market. With this, Jackson Records becomes one of the first entertainment content producers in the country to draw a straight line connecting Italy with India and Sushi Rain becomes one of the first bands after few metal & gothic bands from their native place to enter the Indian music market.

Sushi Rain’s “Cocktail” will be available to the worldwide audience digitally for streaming and paid downloads from leading music e-retailers like iTunes, Amazon, MixRadio, Spotify, etc. The album will also be available in India through web streaming platforms like Gaana.com & Hungama Music app and through major mobile networks and DTH / IPTV in callertunes, ringtones & music on demand modes, respectively
