The Music Room is a 2014 album composed by the Indian singer-songwriter Sonu Nigam and tabla percussionist Bickram Ghosh. The album was released on 16 December 2014 on the Times Music label. The album, which was over four years in the making, is in a style the duo calls Muddy Electronica, according to an interview that appeared in the Mumbai Mirror.[1]

The album features seven tracks, all in the voice of Sonu. The lyrics of all the songs have been penned by Sonu Nigam except the Gujarati language song Walida, the lyrics of which are written by Shruti Pathak. When interviewed by Radioandmusic.com about the presence of that song on the album, Ghosh said, "It is music; let us not limit ourselves to a single language. We come across people who listen to many other languages." The album also consists of a song titled Khamakha, notable for being set to nine beats.[2]

In less than 24 hrs of release The Music Room had reached no.1 position on Indipop Charts on iTunes. The composer duo celebrated the success of the album ‘The Music Room’ along with their friends in the industry by throwing a lavish party in Mumbai.
