Background

Beach Chair features recording artist, Fateh (left) and Marcus Orelias (right).

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] On October 28, a day before the albums release via Twitter, Momi teased the tracklist.[14]
