Shaan the prolific Bollywood playback singer has had a long and fruitful career and has given his melodious and soulful voice to many top actors in the early 2000s and even the late 1990s. Blessed with some amazingly romantic numbers, Shaan has lent his voice to all kinds of melody in music. He was part of the Golden Era in Bollywood Music in the decades between 1990 and 2010.
Shaan as we know, is not found to be very active in Bollywood in the last few years. Seems like the new generation of music has taken the momentum away from him.
Shaan conversed about a lot of things related to Bollywood music and his career, to indiatvnews.com and we take reference from that story for our write up here.
“People have stopped listening to film songs these days. Film songs are not enjoying the popularity they used to in earlier times. When we used to sing playback regularly, people would listen to film songs and discuss them. These days, maybe one song from a big film, that too which has been heavily publicised only that people listen to,” Shaan told IANS.
Is this why he is not much into playback music these days? “As I said people don’t listen. In the past one year, I’ve recorded four songs that nobody knows about. Also new singers are coming up. When I was new, seniors made way for me. Similarly now, I’ll have to make way for the new generation. You can’t be there forever. But I’ve sung for a long time and I’m grateful for that,” replied Shaan.
We understand this sentiment, Shaan!!
Shaan is currently associated with Zee TV’s latest music reality show “Indian Pro Music League.
