The biggest singing phenomenon Bollywood has seen in a while may just be Arijit Singh. The 27-year-old backup vocalist has won the hearts of many people all around the world. And while I wouldn’t go so far as to say the young musician’s vocals are unmatched, there is something endearing about his voice that undoubtedly cannot be duplicated. Our very own curly-haired vocalist has a song for everyone, whether they are madly in love, have a new love interest, or are going through a painful split.
“Tum Hi Ho” from “Aashiqui 2”
The song that made Singh famous is without a doubt his main claim to fame. Anyone who has loved someone they couldn’t live without will be able to relate to this sorrowful melody. Even though the song’s lyrics are upbeat, “Tum Hi Ho” is unquestionably elegiac. His words have a melancholy that can be felt beneath the surface, and this extraordinarily moving song might make even the most heartless person cry.
“Hamdard” and “Ek Villian”
Singh’s voice is so entrancing in this calming symphony that Siddharth Malhotra, the movie’s heartthrob, is nearly forgotten. Someone with whom you may share your pain is referred to as hamdard in Hindi. This moving song is about the individual who stands with you during your darkest, most trying moments.
“Samjhawan” – “Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania”
In this gem, originally sung by Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, Singh comes across as particularly soulful. This catchy song is about a man trying to persuade his girlfriend that he loves her. Take notes, gentleman!
