I heard her voice in a soft, melodious romantic Tamil song ?Chellamai Chellam? composed by Karthik Raja.
Many of them sound similar especially the female singers.īut now again the cycle repeats, an 18 year old girl well trained in Hindustani classical music is emerging as the most promising singer of this music era. The singers lose their identity and they lack uniqueness these days.
Very few are able to register their voice in the minds of the people due to lack in opportunity. The singers are more and the songs are widely distributed to each singer. These days when you hear a song you are not sure about the singer before seeing the CD inlay. Those days the whole album was sung by only two singers utmost four but now every album has minimum ten singers fighting for a place in credits. They wanted something fresh in each and every song and so to bring freshness in their songs composers started hunting voices which increased the number of singers in the industry. With the advent of many new composers like A.R.Rahman, there was a drastic change in the type and quality of music both delivered and expected.
In 80?s a lot of singers came into lime light and everybody was given equal chance. With their inborn talents those singers were able to sustain in the industry without allowing the people to get bored out of their voice. For example, Lata Mageshkar was the branded voice for any heroine in Hindi film music and later many new singers arrived and even then they got very less chance compared to Lataji and Ashaji and same is the case for male singers. In Indian film music there was a period when a couple of singers were dominating the whole industry and one can hardly hear some others singing playback for lead pairs.
