Remo Fernandes (52), Goa's pop star for a generation, has been in the news with his new track, 'Love on SMS'. "I play a Pied Piperesque character, who helps a youth who's fumbling to declare his love to a girl. I hand him a cellphone and tell him SMS is the way to do it," Remo was quoted saying in the Indian Express (June 25, 2005).
IE quotes EMI Virgin's head Shamir Tandon as calling the melody "very Remo -- peppy, rock infused with guitar and flute". Last year, Remo released "the deep, richly orchestrated album" called 'Symphonic Chants Experience. He says he wanted that to be a "total change" from the 'O Meri Munni' image, an Indipop album. Indian Express informs that the next pop record from Remo might be titled 'Muchacha Latina' (Spanish Girl). It quotes Remo saying, "I was inspired by my father's record collection of old Latino music. And Goa being Goa, I met a Spanish girl who's a great singer and has sung some of the lines in the track."
