Gurugram, August 22, 2022: MG Motor India today announced the launch of Season 2 of MG Taal entitled ‘Naya Safar, Nayi Taal’, a unique National Talent Hunt for Indie music artists. A bold step for budding and innovative artists, Season 2 of Taal will focus on showcasing promising talent through a far-reaching platform. A talent search pulsing across the nation, this event will help shine the spotlight of fame on unique and deserving Indie artists no matter where they are!

In collaboration with Songdew, MG Taal Season 2 aims to help emerging Indie artists with its platform’s wide reach and expertise in music.

Sunil Khanna, founder of Songdew mentioned that “At Songdew, we have built a family of 55K Indian artists and bands who leverage our services to promote, distribute, and monetize their music. We believe that the future of music in India is bright, and we have been collaborating with various stakeholders to accelerate this trend. In the last 18 months or so, there has been significant popularity and traction for indie music, which is growing at an unprecedented rate. Hence, MG Taal Season 2 could not have come at a better time. We are excited to be working with MG on this initiative and look forward to playing a significant role in bringing the music of the selected artists to music fans.”

Using music to deliver exciting experiences to its customers, MG Motor has developed an entire architecture around music, including the Sonic Identity of the brand, the brand-aligned music at its showrooms, and its brand anthem.

In Season 1, MG worked with 2 phenomenal acts - A World/ Fusion ensemble with breathtaking compositions from Surat - The Tapi Project, and a multi-genre act from Pune with magical lyricism – Fiddlecraft. The resulting music videos garnered over one million views and over 500 user-generated videos. The brand looks forward to a more exciting time in MG Taal’s Second Edition.
