And I feel the industry is in the safe hands of young talents because they have introduced many new genres of music like sufi, pop and trans," Hariharan told PTI.<br /><br />He has recently cut his fourth studio album "Colonial Cousins Once More" with Leslie Lewis after a gap of 10 years. The music composer duo are members of fusion band 'Colonial Cousins'.<br /><br />"Our new album is like going back to our roots.
