Playback singer Shaan has shared an interesting anecdote about the legendary multi-hyphenate Kishore Kumar.
Shaan told “My father was a composer, Kishore da once sent a message to my father saying, ‘What happened, why are we not working together? You don't want me to sing for you?’ My father told him, ‘I don't have much work as of now except for a Bhojpuri film’. Kishore da told him, ‘I'll do it for you’. He took INR 3000 and sang not one but two Bhojpuri songs for my father”.
Earlier, Shaan had shared his opinion on the longevity of the songs in the current era of Hindi music. He said that bad songs are always present in every era, and it’s not like that overall music is bad currently. He said that composers are still making good songs, and singers are giving their voice to those songs.
He said that after the arrival of smartphones, the consuming habits of listeners have immensely changed. He said that social media, and smartphones have diminished the attention span of the audience, as everything is so fast, and hyper-connected.
