"Eastern Jam" cover

"Pieces" was released as a double A-side single with the instrumental track "Eastern Jam", which became the following track in More Than Alot. "Eastern Jam" is one of the few dubstep songs in the drum and bass album, and another one of Chase & Status's earliest hit songs. It is based on the song "Silsila Ye Chaahat Ka" (as performed by Shreya Ghoshal, produced by Ismail Darbar and written by Nusrat Badr) from the soundtrack of the 2002 Bollywood film Devdas.^[1] The track was later reproduced by Ted "Wild Animals" Chung to become the basis for the Snoop Dogg song "Snoop Dogg Millionaire", which was inspired by the similarly titled 2008 film. The remix features singer Tanvi Shah, who is heard singing in both English and Hindi in the song.
