Decades later with the I-pop (Indi pop) girl group W.i.S.H., India is ready to surf on wave of pop music again...

Do you remember when was the last time you heard an I-pop song staged by a girls' group? I’m sure you have to stress yourself a little bit more. And if you’re are a kid of 90’s “Ham Naye Geet Sunaye” from "Viva" will come to your mind naturally. Later, the pop group and pop music got carried away in the shadow of Bollywood music and almost lost its existence.
