INTENSO is a name which will be familiar with some of the stalwarts of the British Asian music scene. <\/strong><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

An MC who has worked with some of the industry\u2019s finest, he came to prominence in the early 2000\u2019s. After a career break, Intenso returns with his first slice of action in 2012 with the incredible single \u2018Thenu Thakia\u2019, releasing via Moviebox Records on 11th October.

\n\u2018Thenu Thakia\u2019 is produced by Rishi Rich and features the Punjabi vocals of another artist who was a breakthrough act a decade ago.

\nIntenso explains: \u201cThenu Thakia is an exciting new release for me. I\u2019ve taken my own sweet time in coming back to the music scene but it\u2019s been well worth the wait. I\u2019m making music which is current and with some of the biggest names around on the biggest Asian label, Moviebox. Rishi Rich has produced an amazing track here and I decided to collaborate with a singer who I worked with all those years ago. Bobby, or Bobby Akhiyan as he\u2019s now known, is an immensely talented singer who\u2019s vocals shine on \u2018Thenu Thakia\u2019 I hope everyone enjoys this song as much as I did making it.\u201d

\nBack in 2001, Intenso broke into the Bhangra industry with the release of \u2018Akhiyan Akhiyan\u2019 with Punjabi singer Bobby, which went to number one on various Asian TV and radio networks. Staying true to his UK Garage roots, he was featured on the number one music album of 2001-2002 \u2018Danger\u2019, with an explosive blend of Garage & Bhangra fusion in the smash hit ‘Soni Soni Kuri Kuri.’

\nIntenso made a brief cameo return in 2007 featuring on\u00a0the second album for Bhangra duo “Jinx” in 2007. \u2018Tere Sadqay\u2019 and \u2018Palle Pyar\u2019\u00a0were both featured on the follow-up album \u2018Jus Jinx\u2019.

\nIntenso creates a mellow fire and fusion on \u2018Thenu Thakia\u2019, blending his lyrical flow with the trademark Desi sounds of Rishi Rich and Punjabi chorus from Bobby. The trio combine to great effect, ensuring \u2018Thenu Thakia\u2019 is a song which Asian music lovers of all ages can connect with. The video is shot in incredible locations in Spain, bringing the laid back and smooth nature of the song to life on camera.

‘Thenu Thakia’ is out to buy from iTunes on 11th October.<\/em><\/div>\n
