Music enthusiasts have something new to look forward to. In a unique initiative, Qyuki, a multi-channel network that creates original digital content, has launched Jammin', a collaboration between Bollywood's music composers and YouTube's music sensations. One can hope that this will provide a much-needed break from the regular music that comes out of the Bollywood stables these days.

If Jammin' works for Qyuki we'll soon have more such digital content providers attempting this form of collaborations. It may make way for alternative music forms that will not only provide a platform for upcoming singers but also another medium to enjoy audio content for the audience.
