Babydoll (album) explained
Babydoll is a 1988 Hindi-language platinum-selling pop album by Indipop star Alisha Chinai.[1] The success of the Babydoll album, and that of Suneeta Rao's album Senorita (1989), encouraged HMV to promote other early Indipop stars such as Ali Haider (1990).[2] The album was reportedly India's "first fully computerised album". The sound engineer was Rajesh Johri, alias 'Wizkid', Alisha's husband.[3]

Her first major hit album was Jadoo (Magic). Further platinum albums included Aah Alisha, Baby Doll, Madonna, and Kamasutra, but it was Made in India that established Indipop as a discrete genre and Chinai its prime proponent."
