"Since I am a Hindustani classical singer, it does not mean I don't appreciate other genres. There is always a link among all the forms of music," says Mudgal.

One of the tracks, Main sutti raiyan, is a typical Sufi track, which the singer has rendered at a high pitch. "Sufi is not only music. It is like a faith, a belief and deals with man-God relationship. All Sufi songs sound like love songs. I have always been an ardent admirer of this form," says the singer.

Mudgal came up with the idea of a Sufi album after she sang with Salman Ahmed. Ghoom tana was a blend of Sufi and Hindustani classical. "It was a very neatly composed song and I was very satisfied after doing it," she says. Ali o Ali and Kar sajda, are other Sufi numbers in the album.

She has also sung Tore sang for Bickram Ghosh for his next album and that is a classical-folk mix. "This song has a folk feel also and that is what it special," says Mudgal.
