Mumbai, July 23
Playback singer Papon, who is receiving a lot of positive response to his work in the recently released film ‘Metro...In Dino’, has said that working with music composer Pritam brings a sense of comfort to him, and that’s what extracts the best out of him as an artiste.
The two have been working together for over a decade, with their first collaboration being ‘Jiyein Kyun’. They share similar creative wavelengths, with the flow of ideas being flawless.
Papon told, “It's been a while since ‘Jiyein Kyun’. So the relationship has grown and we've come close as families also. And musically also. So it's not just a composer and a singer now. It's like, you know, like brothers, exchanging notes about not just music, but life in general. So that makes it a little different that way to work together in a more comfortable zone, more flexible, and which actually gives him a lot of space for bringing out the actual art”.
He further mentioned, “Talking about the ‘Barfi’ days, you know, when I did the movie ‘Barfi’, I sang the song ‘Barfi’. Since then he was saying, you know, Anurag Dada (the director) was saying, I'll do an album. And then, yes, this album is entirely a Ghazal album in a way.
