MJ's office sought 'Paree Hoon Main' beats

Indian singer and composer Leslie Lewis recently shared a surprising anecdote linking his popular song 'Paree Hoon Main' to the late Michael Jackson. In a 2025 Instagram post, Lewis revealed that Jackson's office had contacted him after the song's release in January 1991. They were interested in obtaining the beats for a potential new song by the American pop icon.

However, Lewis was unable to comply with the request due to technical limitations at the time. He explained that the beats were already mixed into the master recording, and there was no separate track available to extract them. He expressed regret that modern technology, like AI, could have facilitated this, but it was not available in 1990 when the song was recorded.

'Paree Hoon Main' became a significant hit, particularly during Navratri festivities, with its popularity sustained over the years. Lewis thanked his fans for their continued appreciation of the track, decades after its initial release.
