Singer Kumar Sanu isn’t happy with the kind of songs being churned out by Bollywood music directors these days.
Sanu feels that they mostly lack melody and poetry and, therefore, they’re forgotten soon after their release.
The singer should know something about memorable songs — his songs have ruled Bollywood music charts through the Eighties, Nineties, and the early Noughties, and people still hum numbers.
Sanu says that “melodious tracks are being made these days”, but adds, “there are not many” that can fit the description. “Hindi film songs lack poetry, and even musically, they aren’t appealing at times.
Their lyrical qualities aren’t strong. I sometimes feel that singers aren’t singing, but shouting out loud. Where’s the melody? Why will the listeners accept such songs? he asked.
