Mumbai, Jun 22 (IANS): Singer Armaan Malik says he has always been in awe of the power of music to connect the world, especially when the going is tough.

"Music has always been such a great emotional outlet for me and I've always been in awe of its power to connect the world, especially when the going is tough," Armaan said.

"On World Music Day (which happened on June 21), it was great connecting with my fans on Twitter, sharing my feelings and singing my #MoodSongs - and hearing theirs. Social media has been an important source of connectivity and solidarity in recent times and I'm happy for the opportunity to contribute to that feeling of togetherness and hope," he added.
