Beach Chair is the debut studio album by Indian-American violinist and producer Raaginder formerly known as Violinder.[2] It was released October 29, 2014 independently. The album features guest appearances from vocalist Tina Mann, Fateh, Raxstar, Marcus Orelias, KinG!, Sodhivine and Surjit Singh Bawa.[3] The production was mainly handled by Raaginder with the addition of JumpinGenres, Deep Dolla$, Sodhivine and Sango.

Background

Following the 2011 mixtape release Take One...[4], Raaginder then still using the moniker "Violinder" began to work on new music that wasn't "cover music" but originally composed and produced.[5][6]. Raaginder stated " It was the first time, I displayed my music productions and original compositions on a body of work."[7]. The album's title was inspired by the Jay Z song "Beach Chair". The lead single "Dholna Ve" featuring Tina Mann was released on October 31, 2013.[8][9] and was succeeded with "Raindrops" a tribute to Raaginder's mother whom passed away in April during the recording process[10] and the single featured on The Times of India, "Bonfire/Coastin" featuring Sodhivine and KinG![11] a few months later on October 29, 2014.[12] Due to a last minute addition the album was supposed to release on October 27, 2014 but was pushed back to October 29, 2014.[13]
