India is a favourite of mine, says Enrique Iglesias

His much hyped collaboration with Sunidhi Chauhan is playing on radio stations across the country and pop heartthrob Enrique Iglesias says that India has long been a favourite of his and he hopes to perform here in the near future.

The song 'Heart Beat' featuring the vocals of Chauhan and the 'Escape' hitmaker, is a part of the special India edition of Iglesias' latest album 'Euphoria' and he is excited about fan's reaction to it.

"India is one of my favourite countries and I'm glad a collaboration with an Indian singer is finally happening. It's something I always wanted to do and was waiting for the right opportunity to come along. Working with such a talented Indian singer as Sunidhi Chauhan is an opportunity I am so happy to be involved in. I hope all my fans out there will love what they hear and I hope to see you all soon," said the 36-year-old singer who will reportedly perform in India in July.

'Heartbeat-India Mix', produced by Bollywood music composer Shameer Tandon, mixes traditional folk beats with Iglesias's signature style along with a repertoire of Indian instruments including the sitar, tabla and flute.

The original song featured Pussycat Dolls star Nicole Scherzinger.
