Pritam Mentoring Arijit Singh
In 2010, Arijit Singh collaborated with renowned music composer Pritam on three films—Golmaal 3, Crook, and Action Replayy. Recalling those days with nostalgia, Singh fondly remembers Pritam’s bustling studio, which he likens to a song factory. Pritam, known for his prolific output, had a staggering 16 films that year, each with around 10 tracks, resulting in a mind-boggling total of 160 songs. It was during this time that Singh began singing scratches (rough cuts of songs) at Pritam’s urging, discovering the distinct difference between Bollywood songs and classical bandish compositions. Singh’s dedication to mastering the art of Bollywood singing through daily scratch recordings paid off when Pritam, a year later, gave him the opportunity to sing a classical arrangement in the hit song “Raabta” for the film Agent Vinod, as mentioned in an article by Forbes. This marked a turning point in Singh’s career, propelling him to stardom as a prominent playback singer in the Indian music industry.
