When Indian-American singer-songwriter Zeshan B takes the stage and begins to perform, it’s safe to say that the sound you first expect to hear is not classic, gospel-infused R&B with passionate lyrics about American social justice.
Nor, when you look at the credits for Zeshan’s forthcoming third album, “O Say, Can You See?,” do you expect to see the words “Executive Producer: Preet Bharara” —the former U.S. Attorney for New York’s Southern District renowned for taking on organized crime, terrorism and fiscal malfeasance; whose face appeared on the cover of Time magazine beneath the words, “This Man Is Busting Wall Street”; and who had the great honor of being fired in 2017 by then-new/ now-former president Donald Trump.
